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.

Metal Trials Throwback Event

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

Hero Fests

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

Starter Dominion Returns

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
