For Honor Year 6 kicks off with a dragon, obviously

For Honor Year 6 Season 1 has a lot more in store for warriors than the introduction of online crossplay. Having previously teased what’s next for its medieval fighting game, Ubisoft finally gave fans a look at its new fantasy-themed direction for 2022.

Dubbed “Lost Horizons” For Honor Year 6 takes a step back from the unending war between Knights, Vikings, Samurai, and the Wu Lin. Instead, players are invited to delve into the legends and mythology of Heathmoor starting with Y6S1, Golden Age.

Let’s address the dragon in the room. Throughout 2022 the four seasons will centre on four ancient relics, each with their own story to tell. The first is a chalice that binds legendary hero, Lord Ramiel, to a Great Wyvern, together bringing peace to the land.

But how does this actually impact the game? Sadly, you won’t get the chance to play as a wyvern and rain down fire on your enemies. Instead, there’s a brand new event mode called Oath of Wyverndale. This time-limited mode offers a spin on your traditional Dominion matches as you gain points from capturing control points and proving yourself in combat against an AI-controlled Ramiel.

Lord Ramiel, the first Warden, appears elsewhere in For Honor Year 6 Season 1. He is the first unique character skin available in-game, sporting his own dynamic armour set and weapon. Ubisoft plans on adding a new hero skin with each upcoming season.

Of course, there’s more. Expect a fresh battle pass loaded with themed cosmetics to unlock as well as new unlockable armour variations and discount/XP events. Ubisoft has also opened the doors to its Testing Grounds once more with plans to rework the Conqueror and Shaolin.

If you were expecting a new hero to join the roster, then you’ll have to wait. For Honor has only just added the Pirate to its ranks though promises that two more heroes will rise up during Year 6.

What’s changed since For Honor launched in 2017? If you’re a lapsed player, is it worth getting back into? Read our For Honor 2022 review.
