For those that don’t know: For Honor is an online action fighting game developed and published by Ubisoft for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Launching back in February 2017, For Honor garnered a 79 on Metacritic (Xbox One version) and a considerable player base. And while it hasn’t had as robust of a player base than some other online Ubisoft games, it still maintains a healthy player count and hardcore following. And if you’re on Xbox One, it’s about to have a whole new injection of players, so if you haven’t dabbled in it, now is as good of a time as ever.
