Ubisoft have been toiling in the forges at yet another For Honor update you will need to download and install in order to access their flagship fighting game.
Patch 2.21 is now available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, and is a follow-up to last week’s 2.20 update in which a new playable hero, The Warmonger, was introduced.
This For Honor patch also introduced the eagerly anticipated core combat design update. In a nutshell, Ubisoft have been busy working on changes to make battles more offence focused and thereby more dynamic and fun.
However, their work isn’t done. Ubisoft will be working with the For Honor community to make further improvements while ironing out any issues surrounding the combat update. 2.21 outlines a first wave of changes, as noted below.
