For Honor players, get ready to sharpen those blades and don your scariest armor. The game’s Year 7 Season 3, dubbed “Deceit,” drops on September 14th, plunging players into a realm that’s a whole level of supernatural. Kicking off with the Ghost Festival, a Wu Lin celebration paying respects to the departed, players are invited into a seasonal experience lasting until October 5rg.
A Ghostly Feasting Turns Nightmare: The Ghost Festival Backstory
Imagine this: warriors invited by Wu Lin nobles defy their hosts and munch on the forbidden offerings left for the spirits. Big mistake. A mysterious illness starts spreading as night sets in, making the whole situation creepy and dangerous. So, if you’ve been waiting for some eerie action, Deceit’s got your back.
Ghost Rites Event Pass & New Battle Bundles Available
As part of the Ghost Festival, a special Event Pass called “Ghost Rites” will be available. But that’s not all. Gamers can get in on the Y7S3 Battle Bundle granting access to a loot-packed 100 tiers and the next 25 tiers of progression. Whether it’s battle outfits, ornaments, or themed weapons, there’s plenty of exclusive gear that brings the festival’s dark aura to your avatar.
Hero Fests: Test and Buy Heroes at a Discount
Heroes looking for a new main, here’s your chance. Hero Fests arrive with the new season, featuring a week-long free trial for Kensei, Shugoki, and Warden. These heroes will also be on sale during their respective fests. Look out for unique executions making their debut at the start of each Hero Fest. The Shugoki Hero Fest will line up with the Throwback Event: Visions of the Kyoshin, so mark those calendars for October 12th – 19th.
Testing Grounds Focuses on Highlander Hero and Major Changes for Assassins
The Testing Grounds make a return too, with a spotlight on the Highlander Hero from September 14th – 21st. Hold onto your joysticks, assassins. The game is ditching the Reflex Guard system and equipping all Assassin Heroes plus one Hybrid Hero (Shaolin) with a Static Guard. This change impacts characters like Peacekeeper, Gladiator, Orochi, Shinobi, Shaman, Berserker, Nuxia, and Shaolin, aiming for a more user-friendly combat experience.
For Honor’s Year 7 Season 3 “Deceit” offers a bag of seasonal and gameplay changes that are sure to leave a lasting impression on its community. Gamers can join the eerie Ghost Festival and try out new heroes and gameplay modifications. Brace yourselves; the supernatural is about to become your new normal.
