Ubisoft has announced the upcoming release of For Honor’s newest Hero, the Ocelotl, scheduled for July 27th. This formidable warrior draws inspiration from the Aztec civilization and embarks on a quest for revenge against the greedy Conquistador in the latest season.
The Ocelotl: A Fierce Aztec Warrior
In this season of For Honor, the Conquistador Vela, a Hero Skin, plundered the riches of a civilization and captured their most ferocious warrior. The Aztec hunter named Mixcoatl, known as the Ocelotl, has now arrived in Heathmoor with his people, seeking retribution for the horrors inflicted upon their homeland. Armed with the Macuahuitl club and the Tepoztopilli spear, the Ocelotl’s deadly combat style allows him to stalk his opponents and strike with unmatched strength. As the fourth Outlander Hero, the Ocelotl joins the esteemed ranks of Afeera, the Pirate, and the Medjay.
