I played through two levels of the single-player campaign. You play as specific characters in each faction during -this -conspiracy. A brief trailer I watched before my demonstration explained the set-up: an unnamed, powerful female knight wants to usher in a great age of war, so she pits the factions against each other, manipulating them into fighting. Ubisoft has kept a tight lid on the single-player campaign since the game’s announcement, trickling out small details and eventually revealing you play as all three factions. I recently spent a few hours with its single-player and multiplayer modes to see how the game is shaping up before its release. The game takes place in a fantastical world where vikings, samurai, and medieval knights all happen to occupy the same continent, which sounds like a war historian’s dream come true.

Ubisoft’s melee-centered action game For Honor has shared the spotlight over the past couple of years as one of the publisher’s more intriguing emerging properties alongside the likes of Steep. With news that For Honor's closed beta has begun, we decided to upload our preview of the game from the last issue (#286), which covers both single-player and multiplayer content.
