After more than a year of fighting between samurais, knights, and vikings, “For Honor” players are finally getting a fresh batch of opponents.
The Wu Lin faction from ancient China is joining the fray this fall with the Marching Fire expansion. The four new hero classes — Jiang Jun, Tiandi, Shaolin, and Nuxia — increases the roster of warriors to 22, making it one of “For Honor’s” most substantial updates since its Feb. 2017 launch.
Marching Fire is a part of developer Ubisoft Montreal’s plan to create a deep, lasting experience for the competitive online brawler, which recently surpassed 8 million players. During an interview with Variety at E3 2018, creative director Roman Campos-Oriola explained that they try not to take that success for granted, especially after its initial growing pains. Among other problems, players complained of crippling connectivity issues and a painfully slow grind to unlock new characters.

Ubisoft revealed the “biggest, most ambitious” update yet for its online action game “For Honor” at its E3 2018 press conference on Monday.
Marching Fire comes out October 16 and introduces a new faction from China, the Wu Lin, who add four new heroes to the current roster of 18. There’s also a new 4v4 multiplayer mode, Breach, which lets players take part in a full-on castle siege. The update includes graphical enhancements and a new mode featuring unlimited PvE content, which Ubisoft will reveal at a later date.
The four new fighters are the Tiandi, Jiang Jun, Nuxia, and Shaolin. Each has their own individual names and backstories, establishing them as characters instead of just warrior archetypes. Ubisoft said while they’ll initially be exclusive in a paid bundle, players can buy them with Steel, “For Honor’s” in-game currency, once the exclusivity period is over. Breach, meanwhile, will be free...
