For Honor Y7S3 is launching next week, and with it comes some ghostly activities, new content, and more! Here’s what you can expect in next week’s For Honor’s update. 

For Honor Y7S3 “Deceit” Trailer

For Honor’s Year 7 Season 3, a.k.a “Deceit,” is centered around a Ghost Festival. Its story begins when the Wu Lin nobles invite some starving warriors, who steal forbidden food offerings at the warning of their host. As dusk begins to roll in, an illness begins to take over the warriors, setting the stage for what is described as an “otherwordly” season that pits players against their worst nightmares. 

Here’s a breakdown of what’s coming this season:

• Belvedere Map will adopt a new theme based on this season. 
• A new mood effect, an ornament, a Battle Outfit, and season-themed weapons can be earned during the season. 
• New Event Pass: Ghost Rite.
• New Battle Pass – Includes Battle outfits, ornaments, and more that reflect the Ghost Festival theme
• Battle Bundle.
• Hero Fests – Kensei, Shugoki, and Warden will be offered at a discount. Otherwise, players can use them for free for one week during their rotations. A unique execution will be released at the start of each Hero Fest. 
• Testing Grounds Return! – A new testing ground will be available from September 14 to September 21, which focuses on the Highlander Hero.
• Starting on September 14, the Reflex Guard will be removed for all assassin Heroes to create a more user-friendly combat system by equipping all Assassins Heroes and one Hybrid Hero (Shaolin) with a Static Guard. The Heroes affected by this change are Peacekeeper, Gladiator, Orochi, Shinobi, Shaman, Berserker, Nuxia, and Shaolin.

For Honor Y7S3 launches on September 14. Of course, as with every seasonal update, you can expect additional improvements and bug fixes. We should be hearing more about those shortly before the update releases next week, so stay tuned and watch our For Honor hub for those patch notes!
