It’s October and that means spooky themed events in on-going games such as Destiny, Fortnite, and in this case, For Honor. The “Web of the Jorogumo” event will be available beginning 20th October to 10th November and features a four player co-op PVE game mode set in a variation of the Market Town map.
Players must escort Meiko, capture points, fight against possessed samurai, and “battle through Jorogumo’s sticky webs to encounter a terrifying conclusion” – lovely. A new Kensei Hero Skin, Yokai Slayer Meiko, will also be available and by participating you can win new exclusive rewards such as an Effect, a Battle Outfit and ornaments. Web of Jorogumo themed items will also be available in the in-game store for the duration of the event including Executions, Outfits, a Paired Emote and more.
The Web of Jorogumo event is part of Year Six (!) Season three of the game, “The Demon Dagger”
Something has awakened in the Myre. For centuries, a cavern at the heart of the swamps was sealed off until a fissure split open. Ancient Samurai once knew the truth of the cave, but the echo of their warnings had faded across the ages to a whisper. It was a prison. Now demons, once banished to the bowels of the earth, have escaped. And after their long, unholy hibernation, the Yokai hunger.
Motoori noticed small signs first. The young Orochi was the first to warn of the villagers’ strange behavior. Honorable Nobushi babbled and cursed. Aramusha bent and twisted impossibly. At length, the eyes of the Samurai took on pale glows – the last mutation before their massacre on Temple Garden. By then the Yokai’s possession was complete. To save the survivors, Motoori told them of another fable: the Mamono Dagger, a mythical blade said to trap spirits of the Yokai. But the demon dagger bears a terrible cost… and none are worse cut than its wielder.
