Forge Peace from War as the Khatun, For Honor’s New Hero, Launching Tomorrow

Play for free from January 23-30 on PlayStation and Xbox and January 23-February
3 on Ubisoft Connect


SAN FRANCISCO — January 22, 2025
— Today during a Warrior’s Den livestream, Ubisoft announced that For Honor’s newest Hero, the Khatun, will launch tomorrow. Oppressive and brutal in combat, the Khatun rules the domain of war in Mongolia. In addition to the Hero Reveal and Title Update
2, For Honor announced its Year 9 during the Warrior’s Den livestream.


Earlier this season, General Zhi arranged a precarious allegiance with Astrea,
whose Horkos army shields her from the dangers of the General's unknown motives. Honed by the ruthlessness of war and her rule over the Mongol tribes, Guljin, a Khatun, secretly allies with Zhi to ambush Astrea. Armed with Turco-Mongol sabers, Guljin is unpredictable
in combat and strikes with brutal strength. The Khatun will be the fifth Outlander Hero, joining the Ocelotl, the Afeera, the Pirate, and the Medjay.

In celebration of For Honor’s eighth anniversary on February 14, an execution
will return in-game, and all players who login between February 13 and February 20 will be rewarded with an Ornament. In addition, a Mythic Outfit will be available for purchase for 15,000 Steel in-game.


Starting January 23, players will be able to purchase the new Khatun Hero from
first-party stores for $7.99 as part of a package that includes the new Hero, one Exclusive Ornament, one Elite Outfit, seven days of Champion Status, and three scavenger crates. Players can also unlock the Hero on February 6 for 15,000 Steel in-game. In addition,
a free Event Pass with a Battle Outfit, an Effect, and an Ornament will be available at the launch of the Hero.

Coinciding with the launch of the Hero, For Honor will have a free week on PlayStation
and Xbox from January 23-30 and on Ubisoft Connect from January 23-Feb 3. Free Week players will have full access to the Standard Edition of For Honor, and those who want to keep battling after the free period will be able to carry on their progression and
heroes to the full game once purchased.

In addition, the Battle of the Eclipse event returns on January 14 until January
26, allowing players to unlock new lootable weapons, a free event pass, and more. Players can also try out the Orochi, the Pirate, and the Gryphon Heroes during their Hero Fests, where they will be available for free for a week and purchasable at a discount.
The Orochi Hero Fest begins the week of February 13, while the Pirate and the Gryphon’s weeks will begin on February 27 and March 6, respectively. A unique execution will also be released for purchase at the start of each Hero Fest.

With over 36 million players, For Honor is available to play now on Xbox One,
Xbox Series X|S, and PC with Xbox Game Pass, Steam, Steamdeck, the Epic Games Store, as well as on PlayStation®4
and Ubisoft+, the Ubisoft subscription service. For Honor is also playable on PlayStation®5
and Xbox Series X | S through backward compatibility.
