For Honor’s newest Hero, Arakure, is coming to Heathmoor on July 23. Born into a life of crime, she has always hated the Samurai, especially after her brother was killed by an Orochi guard after a heist gone wrong. Now, she seeks to deface the statue of Khatun during the Samurai Feast to show them that they aren’t untouchable. She’s a brawler willing to do anything to achieve her goals.  

Here’s what you need to know about Arakure’s gameplay:  

• Faction: Samurai 

• Role: Assassin 

• Weapon: Tonfas 

• Playstyle: Strike Meter & Target Swap Specialist 

• Scrappy: She’ll poke your eyes, step on your toes – whatever it takes to get her way  

• Firecracker: She’s short-tempered, explosive, fast, volatile, and fearless 

• Brazen: She takes on the world with an irreverent gaze; loud and defiant, she makes no apologies.  

The Metal Trials throwback event is also returning to Heathmoor. A limited-time PvE game mode, you’ll have to face waves of enemies to earn rewards. The throwback event will last for three weeks, and the difficulty will increase each week. Rewards for the Metal Trials throwback event include:  

• Black Armor Sets retrofitted for all heroes 

• Black weapon sets 

• Event reward retrofits including an Outfit, two colour swatches, two Embossings, and Emote 

For Honor is also hosting another round of Hero Fests, which are a week in which a specific Hero is unlocked for all players, earns double XP, and features new executions.  

• Berserker - August 20 

• Virtuosa - August 27 

• Jormungandr - Sept 3 

The popular limited-time event Starter Dominion is making a comeback, running from July 23-August 6. It features the same core rules as Dominion, in which two teams fight to control the battlefield by capturing and keeping three objective points, but without Gear Perks to keep gameplay fresh and focused on skill. Unlike past iterations of Starter Dominion, the mode will feature Stamina, Feats, and Revenge. There will be five maps in rotation:  

• Quiang Pass 

• Citadel Gate 

• River Fort 

• Canyon 

• Temple Garden 

Don’t miss Arakure’s debut on July 23. Play For Honor on Steam today!

MAY we offer you a look at our Roadmap?

On top of an XP Fest headed your way, check out what else we have in store this month! 📅

BALANCING CHANGES  

SPRINT SPEEDS 

In Dominion, being able to rotate quickly to contest objectives and maximizing renown is important. Certain Heroes were too slow when sprinting, which discouraged rotations and made these Heroes less useful in a team. To mitigate this, we've increased the sprint speed of the slowest characters by ~8%.  

Affects:  

• Conqueror  

• Kensei  

• Highlander  

• Sohei  

Note that this does not impact Shugoki as they have access to Super Sprint.  

PINNING PROJECTILES  

We are making a change to pinning projectiles. These were designed to ensure additional attacks could be performed, but this meant we couldn't have them abide by the typical Anti-Gank rules. While these will now provide damage reduction appropriately, we've loosened up the rules to ensure it is always possible to land an extra attack, unless the victim was already in 2nd hit-stun.  

Affects:  

• Gladiator's Boleadoras  

• Centurion's Vainglorious Pugio (new Tier 3 Feat)  

AFEERA  

• Gravity's Pull can now be dodged 400ms before the hit (up from 300ms)  

• Speeding Comet changes 

• Can now be dodged 400ms before the hit (up from 300ms)  

• When performed at close range, now gains Full Block at 400ms (up from 0ms)  

• When the feat also triggers Fleet Foot, the attack gains Full Block after running for 400ms (up from 0ms) 

• When the feat also triggers Fleet Foot, Fleet Foot's minimum duration is now 400ms (up from 200ms)  

\[Developer's Comments]  

Since Gravity's Pull and Speeding Comet are fast unblockable moves accessible from neutral, we've adjusted the amount of time players have to dodge these moves in line with similar moves/Feats.  

We also adjusted when full block is active during Speeding Comet as it was too easy to use in reaction to attacks from neutral. With these changes, it should remain a strong tool to engage from further away while toning down its effectiveness in close-up scenarios.  

BERSERKER  

• Health increased to 130 (up from 125)  

\[Developer's Comments]  

Berserker relies on trading to get their offense started, but with the more recent changes to bring the Hero back more in line with other Heroes, their lower Health total made trading riskier. This should give the Hero an edge on trading and starting their offense with less risk. 

BLACK PRIOR  

• Reduced the Stamina drain for holding Bulwark Stance to 3.5/s (down from 5/s)  

\[Developer's Comments]  

Bulwark Stance's defensive properties are not as strong as other similar defensive stances, requiring a commitment to get stronger defense. Black Prior's Tier 2 feat also relies on entering and staying in Bulwark Stance, and our recent changes to Stamina drain while in defensive stances had a bigger impact on Black Prior than desired. 

CENTURION  

• Eagle's Talons damage reduced to 28 (down from 30)  

• Feats 

• New Tier 1 Feat - Amplified Roar 

• Passive: Lion's Roar Finisher now unbalances enemies 

• New Tier 2 Feat - Eagle's Windfall 

• Passive: After landing an Eagle's Talon, reduce enemies' Attack and increase ally movement speed  

• Enemies deal 20% less damage for 10s  

• Allies gain 20% movement speed for 10s  

• New Tier 3 Feat - Vainglorious Pugio 

• Active: Throw a projectile that Binds. Performing a Legion Kick on the Bound target unbalances them. Deals 15 damage, 120s cooldown  

• New Tier 4 Feat - Refined Phalanx 

• Active: Give all allies a moderate amount of Shield and Cleanse negative status effects. Grant 50 Shield for 10s, 180s cooldown  

• Default & Alternate Feats have been adjusted  

• Default Feats:  

• Tier 1: Body Count -> Amplified Roar  

• Tier 2: Inspire -> Eagle's March  

• Tier 3: Second Wind -> Enhanced Pugio  

• Tier 4: Catapult -> Refined Phalanx  

• Alternate Feats 1:  

• Tier 1: Bounty Hunter (no change)  

• Tier 2: Haymaker -> Inspire  

• Tier 3: Pugio -> Second Wind  

• Tier 4: Stalwart Banner (no change)  

• Alternate Feats 2:  

• Tier 1: Rush -> Body Count  

• Tier 2: Centurion's March -> Executioner's Respite  

• Tier 3: Sharpen Blade (no change)  

• Tier 4: Phalanx -> Catapult  

\[Developer's Comments]  

We are revamping Centurion's Feats to be more focused on his signature moves.  

• Amplified Roar is meant to give more utility to Lion's Roar and set up ganks more effectively. 

• Eagle's Windfall is built to give Centurion's Eagle's Talon dual purpose: When used in a team fight, it should tilt the scales in favor of Centurion's team by giving a Defense debuff to their opponents. While being used in a gank, grant extra speed to let Centurion's team rotate faster to their next engagement.  

• Vainglorious Pugio is meant to make ganks more accessible and easier to set up.  

• Refined Phalanx now has a unique ability to Cleanse all negative status effects for Centurion's team while also giving them more survivability.  

While this affects Centurion's main Feats, we also had to adjust the Hero's alternate Feats. 

• Centurion's March has been underperforming, and was replaced by Executioner's Respite as it fits better with Centurion's identity. 

• We are also removing Haymaker and replacing it with Inspire; Haymaker is causing too many issues with balancing and Inspire fits better with the Hero's identity as well. 

With all these new Feats bolstering his kit, we're toning Eagles Talons down slightly and will continue to monitor it + similar moves.  

CONQUEROR  

• Sprint Speed increased by 8%  

GLADIATOR  

• Boleadoras now respects hit-stun rules.  

• If the victim was idle, they will enter 1st hit-stun and gain 25% damage reduction for subsequent hits if the attacker differs.  

• If the victim was already in 1st hit-stun, they will enter 2nd hit-stun and receive 75% damage reduction for subsequent hits, regardless of the attacker. Unlike traditional 2nd hit-stun, victims can be pinned again by other attackers.  

• If the victim was already in 2nd hit-stun, the projectile will not bind.  

HIGHLANDER  

• Health increased to 130 (up from 125)  

• Offensive Form Lights are no longer Enhanced  

• Sprint Speed increased by 8%  

\[Developer's Comments]  

Highlanders tend to trade a lot in Defensive Form, and his Health was on the lower side for trading Heroes, so we're increasing it slightly to make the Hero safer.  

Offensive Form Light attacks are 400ms and Enhanced, and this makes them overly strong in multiple situations. We're removing the Enhanced property to make them less effective, especially when repeatedly used back to back. 

HITOKIRI  

• Health increased to 130 (up from 125) 

• Sankotsu now has more forward movement  

\[Developer's Comments]  

Hitokiri is a character that relies on trading with opponents to deal damage. We're increasing their Health slightly to make it a bit more favorable to do so.  

Sankotsu is not matching our expectations as a roll catcher as well as a peeling tool, so we're increasing it's forward movement to give the Hero more reach during these situations.  

JORMUNGANDR  

• Serpent Smite's now gains Uninterruptible Stance at 500ms (up from 400ms) 

• Hamarr Slam now gains Uninterruptible Stance at 100ms  

• Hamarr Slam now deals 28 damage (down from 30)  

• The Shield gained by Hamarr's Favor is now 20 (down from 25)  

\[Developer's Comments]  

Serpent Smite is overperforming as a trading tool; by making the Uninterruptible Stance activation 100ms later, it should be trickier to use in certain situations and make Jormungandr easier to interrupt. 

Hamarr Slam's overall weakness is that is easily peelable; due to the damage, Shield gain and ease of access, this felt like correct drawback to the move, but unfortunately this has proven to lead to the move having less usability as we would like it to have. We are thus modifying these components to increase the potential usage of the move, while reducing the other effects (lower Shield gain and lower damage) to compensate for the Armor gain.  

JUREN  

• Lion's Pounce can now be interrupted on block.  

• Reduced the Stamina drain for holding Indomitable Stance to 2/s (down from 5/s)  

\[Developer's Comments]  

Juren's side dodge attacks are very strong and differ from the cast as they are not as easy to counter due to their varying speeds. This creates situations where attackers must deal with an extra layer of reads when facing Juren. 

With this change, when Juren dodges to the side and initiates an attack, players can place their block in the direction of the dodge; if the attack is a tapped version, it will be blocked and give the player frame advantage, while if it is the held version, players still need to deal with the attack as a feintable attack. This should help tone down the mixup from Juren and give attackers a better edge when fighting him. We'll keep an eye on this aspect, as well as other aspects of the Hero, to see if further changes are needed. 

Indomitable Stance is weaker than most other defensive down stances, so we've adjusted the Stamina drain that occurs when holding it.  

KENSEI  

• Sprint Speed increased by 8%  

KHATUN  

• Fear and Fury Stance can now be cancelled into a dodge at 300ms (down from 500ms)  

• Zone Attack now has 433ms Guardbreak Vulnerability (up from 100ms)  

\[Developer's Comments]  

Fear and Fury requires a large commitment, especially in team fights. We want to give it a bit more flexibility, so we're allowing dodge to be performed slightly sooner during the move. We will continue to monitor this to see if other adjustments are needed.  

The Guardbreak Vulnerability window on Zone Attack was lower than intended. This has now been fixed.  

LAWBRINGER  

• Side Light attacks are no longer Enhanced.  

• Top Heavy Opener now deals 23 damage (down from 25)  

• Top Heavy Chain now deals 24 damage (down from 26)  

• Top Heavy Finisher now deals 27 damage (down from 28)  

• Impaling Riposte is now feintable  

\[Developer's Comments]  

Lawbringer has been overperforming, and we're toning the Hero down to bring the Hero's performance more towards expected levels. 

• The Hero's damage curve was too high, and Heavy attacks dealt too much damage, especially with guaranteed damage off Swift Justice, which also resets Lawbringer's chain. 

• Side Lights used to be Enhanced as Lawbringer struggled to open their opponents. This is no longer the case, so we're removing the property.  

• In the past, Impaling Riposte gave opponents a guaranteed parry when performed after a Heavy Parry. Now, by being feintable, even though the move doesn't force a reaction since it isn't unblockable, opponents will now have to guess if they want to capitalize on what looks like an easy parry.  

NOBUSHI  

• Zone Attack (2nd hit) now costs 10 Stamina (down from 20)  

• Zone Attack (2nd hit) now applies Bleed that stacks (used to not stack with other Bleeds) 

\[Developer's Comments]  

We're pushing some changes to Nobushi's Zone Attack to make it more usable, as well as fixing an issue where the 2nd hit's Bleed wouldn't stack.  

OROCHI  

• Zone Attack can now cancel its recovery into a dodge at 200ms (up from 100ms) 

\[Developer's Comments]  

Orochi's Zone Attack could be cancelled into a dodge quite early, and this gave the move more survivability as intended, especially by external opponents. This should put the move more in-line with other recovery cancels. 

PEACEKEEPER  

• Dagger Cancel is now Unblockable when performed off a Top Heavy attack. 

• Feats 

• New Tier 1 Feat - Crossbow Wound 

• Active: Fires a crossbow that deals direct Bleed damage.  

• Deals 1+10 Bleed damage over 10s, 30s cooldown  

• New Tier 2 Feat - Bleed Armor 

• After a Hit on a Bleeding target, gain a Defense buff for a short duration.  

• Grants 25% damage reduction, 10s duration  

• New Tier 3 Feat - Sanguine Serrations 

• Active: Attacks apply Bleed. Passive: Hit a Bleeding target to reduce the Feat's cooldown.  

• Attacks deal an additional 10 Bleed over 5s. Active for 12s, 150s cooldown. 

• When hitting a Bleeding opponent while the Feat is on cooldown, the cooldown is reduced by 5 seconds. 

• New Tier 4 Feat - Induced Fear 

• Active: Nearby enemies receive a Defense debuff. Duration resets when killing enemies.  

• Reduces Defense by 30%, active for 20s, 180s cooldown  

• Default & Alternate Feats have been adjusted   

• Default Feats:  

• Tier 1: Bounty Hunter -> Crossbow Wound  

• Tier 2: Fiat Lux -> Bleed Armor  

• Tier 3: Crossbow -> Sanguine Serrations  

• Tier 4: Fear Itself -> Induced Fear  

• Alternate Feats 1:  

• Tier 2: Thick Skin -> Fiat Lux   

• Alternate Feats 2:  

• Tier 1: Conqueror -> Bounty Hunter  

• Tier 3: Sharpen Blade -> Punch Through  

\[Developer's Comments]  

The Dagger Cancel changes aim to solve two problems.  

• Peacekeeper can struggle to pressure opponents externally because she requires her opponents to be Bleeding to be able to engage. While she has one of the best peel options in the game, this requires opponents to actively engage, and if they are being very defensive makes it difficult for Peacekeeper to be active during combat. By giving her access to a conditional Unblockable Dagger Cancel, the Hero can now apply Bleed in a more consistent manner and helps her be more active during combat. 

• Dagger Cancel from Top Stance is underperforming; opponents can block Top and beat both the attack AND dagger cancel, and they both are parried at the same timing. This change now forces opponents to make a read and risk a parry on an attack that is not normally worth parrying, and this should create new venues for Peacekeeper to open up opponents.  

We are also revamping Peacekeeper's Feats to focus more on Bleed and its interactions. 

• As a Tier 1 Feat, Crossbow Wound gives Peacekeeper another way to apply Bleed, in a relatively easy way.  

• Bleed Armor is a new Feat that gives Peacekeeper more defense when hitting Bleeding targets; with Bleed becoming easier to apply, she should gain a significant survivability boost during team fights. 

• Sanguine Serrations is an improvement over Sharpen Blade; Peacekeeper can now apply Bleed more easily, which lowers the cooldown of Sanguine Serrations significantly, which then in turn lets her apply Bleed more consistently. 

• Finally, Induced Fear allows Peacekeeper to keep her Defense debuff for longer if she manages to land killing blows on her opponents. 

We've also adjusted her alternate Feats to give Peacekeeper better choices that are more in-line with her Bleed focus.  

PIRATE  

• Guaranteed Pistol Blast now deals 4 damage (down from 5)  

• Pistol Blast (after Walk the Plank) now deals 15 damage (up from 5)  

• Walk the Plank now deals 12 damage (down from 24)  

\[Developer's Comments]  

Pirate has been overperforming at all skill levels since the buffs to Cavalier Dance and Walk the Plank. 

Walk the Plank especially has been a strong tool in Pirate's arsenal when near walls, as she could land the move then release the victim into a wall splat that guaranteed an extra Heavy's worth of damage. To diminish this interaction, we're adjusting the damage curve so that Walk the Plank deals less damage up front and now requires a Pistol Blast to deal more damage, rather than front-loading the damage on Walk the Plank itself.  

We're also lowering the damage of the Guaranteed version of Pistol Blast to deal slightly less damage; this change is small but amounts to significant amounts of damage over the course of a match. 

RAIDER  

• Stampede Charge now costs 30 Stamina (down from 40)  

• Reaping Charge now gains Uninterruptible Stance at 400ms 

• Finishers can now chain to Raider's Fury  

\[Developer's Comments]  

We're adjusting Stampede Charge's Stamina cost to align its usability with similar moves. Reaping Charge is slow and cannot be feinted, so now it has uninterruptible stance to make it a bit easier to use.  

Raider could already extend their chain using Storming Tap, but this tends to lead to Heavy Finishers not being used as often as we'd like because the pressure from Storming Tap makes more sense in many situations. With the ability to chain to Raider's Fury after Heavy Finishers, this gives the Hero a new route to extend chains and gives more purpose to their Heavy Finishers. 

SHAOLIN  

• Qi Stance Lights now deal 12 damage (down from 14)  

• Sun Sweep Follow Up now deals 20 damage (down from 24)  

\[Developer's Comments]  

Lowering Qi Stance Light's damage to make these moves slightly less oppressive for their properties.  

Sun Sweep Follow Up now deals less damage as a drawback for the safety of the move.  

SHUGOKI  

• Charge of the Oni Stamina cost per second reduced to 15 (down from 25)  

\[Developer's Comments]  

Shugoki is the only Hero with a low sprint speed that didn't get their base sprint speed adjusted. To compensate, we've reduced the Stamina cost for using Charge of the Oni allowing faster rotations on the map at the expense of a bit less Stamina.  

SHINOBI  

• Super Sprint Stamina cost on activation increased to 10 (up from 0)  

\[Developer's Comments]  

Although the effect is minor, by repeatedly de/activating Super Sprint it was possible to maintain some of its benefits without having the Stamina drain. This is the same behavior as Shugoki's Charge of the Oni.  

SOHEI  

• Heavy Openers now gains Uninterruptible Stance at 500ms (up from 400)  

• Mad Monk now gains Uninterruptible Stance at 500ms (up from 400)  

• Sprint Speed increased by 8%  

\[Developer's Comments]  

Sohei has been performing better with their recent changes, but their Uninterruptible Stances initiated too early, giving Sohei too much safety when using these attacks. We're pushing their timing back by 100ms to make it easier for opponents to interrupt Sohei, and to remove certain interactions where Sohei could feint after taking a hit and getting a guaranteed Guardbreak on opponents after a trade. 

TIANDI  

• Side Dragon Dodge is now vulnerable to Guardbreak for 533ms (up from 400ms)  

• Side Dragon Dodge can be performed from side dodge from 200-500ms (up from 200-300ms)  

• Zone (1st hit) now costs 20 Stamina (down from 30)  

\[Developer's Comments]  

We're fixing the Guardbreak Vulnerability of Side Dragon Dodge to match other slow dodge attacks (like Jiang Jun and Warmonger). If the attack is performed as early as possible during a side dodge, it will be vulnerable for a total of 733ms.  

Similarly, we're increasing how late you can perform the move during side dodge for the same reasons.  

Lastly, we're reducing Zone Attack's Stamina cost to make it slightly more useable even when feinted or soft feinting to Dragon Kick.  

VIRTUOSA  

• Sidesways Misdirect can now be performed during side dodges from 200ms to 400ms (down from 200ms to 600ms) 

• Holding Posture now drains 5 Stamina per second (down from 7 per second)  

\[Developer's Comments]  

We initially had a longer window during dodge to perform Sideways Misdirect for input comfort. However, this allowed Virtuosa to avoid certain mix-ups by delaying their attacks later, so it was reduced to standard values.  

Posture is having its Stamina drain reduced to match standards. Unlike most other Defensive Stances, Virtuosa spends Stamina to exit Posture with attacks (except when dodging out of it). So for now, similar to Valkyrie, we won't be adding an extra cost on entry, but we will be monitoring this closely.  

WARMONGER  

• Light Opener Attacks are now Enhanced  

• Vicious Impale Claw on unbalanced Out-of-Stamina opponents now deals 10+32 Bleed damage (up from 10+20 Bleed)  

• Beast of Prey now deals 22 damage (down from 24).  

\[Developer's Comments]  

We had initially changed Warmonger's Opener Light attacks to remove the Enhanced property as we wanted the Hero focus more on other venues of opening-up opponents. While this worked, it also limited Warmonger's ability to use Vicious Impale and removed a route to open-up opponents. We're reverting the change to allow Warmonger more diversity in how she can be played and can pressure opponents.  

Vicious Impale Claw has an issue where performing it on unbalanced opponents limits the damage output of Warmonger. We've increased the amount of Bleed damage this attack deals to ensure the tradeoff isn't too drastic.  

Beast of Prey's damage is being reduced to be in line with similar slow dodge attacks.  

FEATS  

• Last Laugh now deals 20 to 100 damage (down from 20 to 140)  

\[Developer's Comments]  

We previously nerfed Last Laugh's damage, but it still is too rewarding at being able to one-shot the vast majority of the cast. With this, it should no longer one-shot opponents above 100 Health. 

• Corruption: Damage-per-tick reduced to 8 damage (down from 10)  

\[Developer's Comments]  

Corruption's damage output is some of the highest in the game and makes the effect too strong. We're lowering the damage output of Corruption so it is less frustrating to fight against and is more in-line with other Feats.  

BUG FIXES  

BALANCING  

• Afeera: Fixed an issue that caused Orbiting Shield to debuff allies when hit.  

• Pirate: Fixed an issue that caused Trick Shot to debuff allies when hit.  

• Shinobi: Fixed an issue that allowed Super Sprint to be activated 300ms earlier than intended.

CENTURION  

• Fixed an issue that allowed Jab to be guaranteed after a Charged Heavy (Opener/Finisher). 

CONQUEROR 

• Fixed the Fireworks Mood FX VFX remaining after the end of an execution.   

GRYPHON - THE SCORCHING HERALD LEGENDARY SKIN 

• Fixed missing unique Faction VOs when equipping the Scorching Herald Skin on Gryphon.  

JUREN 

• Fixed a VFX when performing Juren's execution Chair Slam while Feat 4 God Among Men is active.  

• Fixed an issue with the Po Jun chest not taking Material on the legs.  

LEADERBOARDS 

• The player's Top % ranking is now visible in the Leaderboard pages.  

LOCALIZATION  

• Fixed an incorrect translation for the perk Rapid Refresh in Spanish and Latin America Spanish.

This week’s Warrior’s Den focused on Title Update 2 for Year 10 Season 1: Glory, marking the return of For the Creed, For Honor’s Assassin’s Creed crossover event. Alongside the event, the update introduces new Hero Skins and bundles, a returning limited‑time game mode with a slew of lootable rewards, additional content, and a new balance rework.

Here’s a recap of what’s coming with TU2.

For a more detailed breakdown on what is coming in For Honor, we recommend watching the VOD[www.twitch.tv] of the Warrior’s Den.

As part of For Honor’s 10th Anniversary celebrations, the beloved For the Creed event returns as a limited‑time event, running from April 23rd to May 14th.

First introduced in 2018 as the first crossover event, it has since become one of For Honor’s most recognizable throwback events. The Year 10 version expands on previous editions, bringing Assassin’s Creed–themed content across every layer of the game, including cosmetics, brand new landing pages, gameplay visuals such as minions, and a dedicated event mode inspired by the conflict between Assassins and Templars.

Title Update 2 adds three new Assassin’s Creed Hero Skins, inspired by characters from Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla:

• Naoe the Swift for Shinobi

• Yasuke the Brave for Shugoki

• Eivor Wolf‑Kissed for Berserker

Each Hero Skin features custom voice lines, recorded with special care to the original material: Naoe and Yasuke have been voiced by the returning original Japanese actors from the game Assassin’s Creed Shadows while Eivor’s dialogue is performed entirely in Icelandic, one of the language closest to the one created for the original game, reinforcing the character’s origins from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

Hero Skins will be available individually or with bundle options offering additional exclusive content:

• Assassin’s Creed Shadows bundle includes both Naoe the Swift and Yasuke the Brave Hero skins, as well as the bundle exclusive Iga’s furriest illustrious outfit. This bundle unlocks the Iga’s Furriest illustrious outfit for all Heroes in your roster.

• Assassin’s Creed Ultimate bundle, that includes all contents from the Shadows bundle, along with the Ezio Auditore and Eivor Wolf-Kissed Skins. This bundle also unlocks four Assassin’s Creed themed executions for all Heroes in your roster too.

The new Assassin’s Creed’s themed executions introduced alongside the Hero Skins will be available as part of the Assassin’s Creed Ultimate bundle but also as standalone offer in the COTW from April 23rd to May 14th:

• Naoe’s Vengeance

• Yasuke’s Oath

• Eivor’s Ardor

For the first time, Assassin’s Creed Hero Skins retain their signature weapons during those 3 new universal executions. Other heroes using these specific executions will temporarily switch to the associated Assassin’s Creed weapons for the duration of the animation.

The Assassini e Templari game mode returns from April 23rd to May 14th!

Based on modified Dominion rules, the event mode is available in Citadel Gate, River Fort and Beachhead, all three updated with Assassin’s Creed visual elements and iconic characters. Each team needs to capture lanes to summon an opposing commander, either Ezio Auditore or Cesare Borgia, and earn points by defeating them. Be on high alert to protect your own commander, blocking the enemy team from scoring an additional 300 points!

For the duration of this event and in the event game mode only, all Heroes will have access to the iconic drop attack animation, allowing attacks from elevated positions throughout the match.

While Assassini e Templari is live, players can unlock Assassin’s Creed’s themed rewards by completing event matches: lootable rewards include the Battle of Heroes, Valhalla Quest and the Animus Project Battles Outfits. The Ruler of the Masses Elite Outfit will also be lootable.

Several effects are also available, including Vitruvian Hero, Welcome to Valhalla, and Templar Synchronization. Players will also be able to loot the Heroes of Heathmoor and Synin’s Wings Ornaments and event‑exclusive weapon customization.

A Free Event Pass is also available for the duration of the event, bringing back Assassin’s Creed crossover rewards and introducing special weapons for Shinobi, Shugoki, Berserker, and Peacekeeper. Progress can be earned by playing Assassini e Templari or completing Daily Orders.

A time‑limited event leaderboard tracking players performances within the mode will be available for the duration of the event.

Outside the event, the Arena of Echoes TU1 map realization joins matchmaking for a limited time:

• Brawl: May 14th to May 28th

• Duel: May 28th to June 11th

Title Update 2 also includes a Shinobi Hero Trial, allowing the hero to be played for free for a week, from April 23rd to April 30th.

Upcoming Hero Fests are also scheduled and will be as follows:

• Highlander – May 21th

• Zhanhu – May 28th

• Warden – June 4th

A new balance rework will go live with TU2, continuing ongoing adjustments to hero performance and combat systems. Full details will be available in the patch notes that will go live tomorrow on the season’s launch, on April 23rd.
