For Honor Season 7 starts up in early August

For Honor Season 7 was today detailed by Ubisoft.

Starting 2 August — just ahead of the game’s inclusion as an Xbox Games with Gold title for August 2018 — the rock-paper-scissors fighter will receive a free update with tons of content.

For Honor Season 7

Here’s what to expect from the season, titled Storm and Fury:

• New Map: One new map, Secluded Keep, will expand the battlefield. Once the personal retreat of a pious Lord surrounded by water, it is now a highly disputed outpost. Secluded Keep will be available in Tribute, Skirmish, Elimination, Brawl, and Duel.
• Major Hero Reworks: In the wake of the recent Hero updates and feedback from players, For Honor will continue to improve and balance the current roster, as two Heroes – the Warden and Valkyrie – will receive major gameplay updates to improve the versatility and efficiency of their respective move sets.
• Ranking System Update: Introducing two new divisions in the Ranking System – Master and Grand Master, reserved for the fiercest warriors. Players will also be able to monitor their progress with the new Ranking Leaderboard. To focus the community on the new leaderboard and Master divisions, players will be able to join Ranked Duel matches outside Tournaments. Tournaments will instead be triggered on rotation, starting on a week-end basis.

The update is ahead of the game’s Marching Fire expansion, due 16 October. We previewed the expansion at E3 2018 recently.

For Honor is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.
