In addition to all of that Viking madness, we were also given information on the title’s single-player campaign (via DualShockers):
“Play as a Knight, Viking, or Samurai in a fast-paced and immersive experience, mixing skill with visceral, never-before-seen melee combat.
Immerse yourself in a single player tale and embody heroes of all three factions to ensure the survival of your people and foil the plans of the merciless and bloodthirsty warlord, Apollyon.
For an added adrenaline rush, the singleplayer campaign is also fully playable cooperatively. Coordination and communication with your band of warriors will be the key to owning the battlefield!”
A list of For Honor’s features have been unveiled, as well:
Unique Warriors to Master: Choose your favorite warrior among a variety of unique heroes including deadly knights, brutal Vikings, and cold-blooded samurai. Able to turn the tide of battle and make their faction victorious, each hero comes with his or her own weapon set and combat style. Express your personality and inspire fear in your enemies by customizing each facet of your warrior, including your chest, shoulders, helmet, and weapon.
Memorable Story Campaign: The memorable story campaign is a tale of warriors in which you will embody heroes of all three factions. Storming castles and fortresses, making the difference in massive battles, and confronting deadly bosses in intense duels, you will need all your wits and skills to ensure the survival of your people and foil the plans of the merciless and bloodthirsty warlord, Apollyon.
Groundbreaking Multiplayer: The groundbreaking multiplayer modes will test your skill and take your adrenaline to the next level.
