THE CRUNCH
Ubisoft Connect is offering For Honor, the 2017 melee combat game, as a free-to-own title for a limited period. The promotion comes as the game receives its Year 10 Season 3 update, Blood Hunt, which adds new skins and a Ranked Season 0. Players can claim the game on Ubisoft Connect until September 28 at 2 PM BST. The offer is available to new or existing users, and once claimed, the game remains in the user's roster
The free-to-own window is open now and ends on September 28 at 2 PM BST. This isn't the first time For Honor has been free, but the timing coincides with the launch of the Y10S3 Blood Hunt update. A second title update is scheduled for October 22, introducing more hero skins and a time-limited game mode.
For Honor launched to a score of 78 on Metacritic. The game is known for its unique PvP melee combat, which requires players to monitor enemy animations and respond accordingly, while navigating arenas with environmental quirks. The free price point may be a reasonable entry point for those interested in trying the title.
The promotion is part of Ubisoft's ongoing efforts to keep the game relevant. The company has been updating For Honor for years, with the latest update adding new content. The free offer is a way to attract new players to the game's community.
