The Latest For Honor Update Is Full of Bugfixes

The newest For Honor update that's scheduled to go live later in the week takes a Shugoki-sized swing at tons of bugs affecting the game's fighters, maps, and game modes.

Just about everything that's detailed in the latest update notes is geared towards fixing a bug or improving something, so following the release of the Title Update 1.18 that's scheduled to be available on Jan. 18, players should feel their games running much smoother.
