View fullsize

The latest trailer for Ubisoft’s upcoming period action game For Honor has been released and it focuses on the Samurai Faction in the game known as the Oni also known as “The Chosen.” Here’s a description of the faction that came along with the trailer:

“The Oni is a swift and lethal duelist who slays his enemies with quickness and mastery. Donning leather and wood armor and wielding a razor-sharp Japanese katana, the Oni strikes fear into his opponents and dominates the battlefield with special abilities such as poisoning his blade, throwing kunai, and unleashing an Arrow Storm. The Oni is a truly powerful and formidable warrior.”

Here’s the synopsis for the game:

Carve a path of destruction through the battlefield in For Honor! Enter the chaos of a raging war as a bold Knight, brutal Viking, or mysterious Samurai, three of the greatest legendary warriors. For Honor is a fast-paced, competitive experience mixing skill, strategy, and team play with visceral melee combat.

The Art of Battle, For Honor’s innovative control system, puts you in total control of your heroes, each with distinct skills and weapons, as you fight for land, glory, and honor. As a skilled warrior on a believable battleground, you annihilate all soldiers, archers, and opposing heroes who stand in your way.

For Honor looks like it will be a fun chaotic game, and it will be available for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Windows PC. There’s no released date set yet for the game.

This footage has been captured entirely from a pre-alpha version of the game. Originally unveiled at Sony's press conference during the 2015 Tokyo Game Show, meet the Oni: the first unveiled Hero in the Samurai faction, who are also known as "The Chosen."
