For Honor gets its own servers after the arrival of Age of Wolves content

For Honor will receive the free Age of Wolves update on February 15. Among other things, the update should ensure better balance at Heroes. In addition, the arrival of Age of Wolves marks the commissioning of a new server infrastructure for more stable gaming sessions.

For Honor’s Season Five update will not include a new Hero. In improving the balance of the existing characters, Ubisoft focused on Kensei, Berserker, and Conqueror in Age of Wolves, as they performed the least in duels and group fights. The improvements to their weapons and movements should allow them to better defeat defensive-minded opponents. With Highlander and Nobushi, the adjustments are more subtle, according to Ubisoft.

Last summer, Ubisoft announced that For Honor would get its own servers to improve connectivity stability, and the publisher has been holding a public test for this since last December. The infrastructure is now ready to be deployed and this will happen sometime after the arrival of Age of Wolves. Ubisoft will soon announce more when its own servers are put into operation and warns that this may be accompanied by new problems that have not yet come to light.

Since the launch of For Honor in February last year, players have been complaining about connectivity issues due to the p2p setup that Ubisoft initially opted for. Among other things, if players stopped in multiplayer games, it could happen that the game paused or crashed. Age of Wolves is out February 15 for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
