Will For Honor 2 Ever Slice Its Way Into Reality?

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

As a long-time gamer and content creator focused on all things For Honor, this is a question I get asked constantly: Will For Honor 2 ever actually happen? While Ubisoft has yet to confirm a sequel, there are promising signs it could become a reality sooner rather than later.

Let‘s slice through the speculation and analyze the future of this beloved hack-and-slash franchise.

No Official Confirmation Yet – But All Signs Point to Yes

First, to clearly answer the question – there has been no official announcement of For Honor 2 in development or planned for launch. Ubisoft is laser-focused on supporting and expanding the original For Honor for the time being.

That said, reading between the lines suggests a sequel is more likely than not. Since its rocky launch in 2017, For Honor has slashed its way to over 25 million players as of last year. Ubisoft has done an admirable job turning around negative early reception through continuous updates and new content.

The regular addition of new heroes, maps, customization options, modes and balance changes have kept the game feeling fresh six years later. Ubisoft is clearly invested in the continued success and longevity of For Honor.

The March Toward a Sequel Continues

While Ubisoft marches forward with the original, I believe it‘s only a matter of time until we see For Honor 2. The game‘s recent entry into its 7th year of support suggests we are approaching a sequel milestone.

Franchises like Assassin‘s Creed and Far Cry have seen new numbered entries approximately every 4-6 years. With new console generations also come opportunities for full-fledged next-gen sequels.

If For Honor maintains or grows its 25+ million player base in the coming years, Ubisoft would be remiss not to expand the IP to capitalize on its popularity. Let‘s look at what a sequel could offer:

The Possibilities of For Honor 2

  • Larger-scale battles with dozens or hundreds of AI units, living battlefields
  • New faction(s) – Aztec, Persian, or Indian warriors?
  • Additional hero classes and combat mechanics
  • Expanded progression, loot, and character customization
  • Social hubs to interact with other players
  • Cross-platform play for larger multiplayer pool

A sequel could take the satisfying melee combat to new levels with technological capabilities not possible in 2017. I envision vastly expanded maps and modes with endless immersive battle roleplaying potential.

Selfishly, after hundreds of hours mastering existing heroes a chance to start fresh with new movesets sounds incredible. The prospects get me hyped!

Patience is a Warrior‘s Virtue

While excitement for the possibilities of For Honor 2 runs wild in the gaming community, we must exercise patience. Ubisoft‘s ongoing support shows they remain committed to enriching the original experience for now.

Rather than rush out a quick sequel just to grab more cash, they are focused on rewarding the loyal player base with consistent new content. As a player since beta, I respect their approach.

But the moment that support starts to wane, you can bet rumors of For Honor 2 development will ignite once again across forum threads and websites like this one. Until then, we eagerly await news as Ubisoft marches to the beat of their own drum – and I‘ll be right here providing the latest updates!

Now if you‘ll excuse me, I need to get back to the grind – see you on the blood-soaked battlefields!
