This week’s Warrior’s Den focused on Title Update 2 for Year 10 Season 1: Glory, marking the return of For the Creed, For Honor’s Assassin’s Creed crossover event. Alongside the event, the update introduces new Hero Skins and bundles, a returning limited‑time game mode with a slew of lootable rewards, additional content, and a new balance rework.
Here’s a recap of what’s coming with TU2.
For a more detailed breakdown on what is coming in For Honor, we recommend watching the VOD of the Warrior’s Den.
For the Creed Returns to Heathmoor
As part of For Honor’s 10th Anniversary celebrations, the beloved For the Creed event returns as a limited‑time event, running from April 23rd to May 14th.
First introduced in 2018 as the first crossover event, it has since become one of For Honor’s most recognizable throwback events. The Year 10 version expands on previous editions, bringing Assassin’s Creed–themed content across every layer of the game, including cosmetics, brand new landing pages, gameplay visuals such as minions, and a dedicated event mode inspired by the conflict between Assassins and Templars.
New Assassin’s Creed Hero Skins
Title Update 2 adds three new Assassin’s Creed Hero Skins, inspired by characters from Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla:
- Naoe the Swift for Shinobi
- Yasuke the Brave for Shugoki
- Eivor Wolf‑Kissed for Berserker
Each Hero Skin features custom voice lines, recorded with special care to the original material: Naoe and Yasuke have been voiced by the returning original Japanese actors from the game Assassin’s Creed Shadows while Eivor’s dialogue is performed entirely in Icelandic, one of the language closest to the one created for the original game, reinforcing the character’s origins from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
Hero Skins will be available individually or with bundle options offering additional exclusive content:
- Assassin’s Creed Shadows bundle includes both Naoe the Swift and Yasuke the Brave Hero skins, as well as the bundle exclusive Iga’s furriest illustrious outfit. This bundle unlocks the Iga’s Furriest illustrious outfit for all Heroes in your roster.
- Assassin’s Creed Ultimate bundle, that includes all contents from the Shadows bundle, along with the Ezio Auditore and Eivor Wolf-Kissed Skins. This bundle also unlocks four Assassin’s Creed themed executions for all Heroes in your roster too.
The new Assassin’s Creed’s themed executions introduced alongside the Hero Skins will be available as part of the Assassin’s Creed Ultimate bundle but also as standalone offer in the COTW from April 23rd to May 14th:
- Naoe’s Vengeance
- Yasuke’s Oath
- Eivor’s Ardor
For the first time, Assassin’s Creed Hero Skins retain their signature weapons during those 3 new universal executions. Other heroes using these specific executions will temporarily switch to the associated Assassin’s Creed weapons for the duration of the animation.
Assassini e Templari Game Mode
The Assassini e Templari game mode returns from April 23rd to May 14th!
Based on modified Dominion rules, the event mode is available in Citadel Gate, River Fort and Beachhead, all three updated with Assassin’s Creed visual elements and iconic characters. Each team needs to capture lanes to summon an opposing commander, either Ezio Auditore or Cesare Borgia, and earn points by defeating them. Be on high alert to protect your own commander, blocking the enemy team from scoring an additional 300 points!
For the duration of this event and in the event game mode only, all Heroes will have access to the iconic drop attack animation, allowing attacks from elevated positions throughout the match.
Event Rewards and Free Event Pass
While Assassini e Templari is live, players can unlock Assassin’s Creed’s themed rewards by completing event matches: lootable rewards include the Battle of Heroes, Valhalla Quest and the Animus Project Battles Outfits. The Ruler of the Masses Elite Outfit will also be lootable.
Several effects are also available, including Vitruvian Hero, Welcome to Valhalla, and Templar Synchronization. Players will also be able to loot the Heroes of Heathmoor and Synin’s Wings Ornaments and event‑exclusive weapon customization.
A Free Event Pass is also available for the duration of the event, bringing back Assassin’s Creed crossover rewards and introducing special weapons for Shinobi, Shugoki, Berserker, and Peacekeeper. Progress can be earned by playing Assassini e Templari or completing Daily Orders.
A time‑limited event leaderboard tracking players performances within the mode will be available for the duration of the event.
Arena of Echoes Map Rotation
Outside the event, the Arena of Echoes TU1 map realization joins matchmaking for a limited time:
- Brawl: May 14th to May 28th
- Duel: May 28th to June 11th
Hero Trials, Hero Fests, and Balance Update
Title Update 2 also includes a Shinobi Hero Trial, allowing the hero to be played for free for a week, from April 23rd to April 30th.
Upcoming Hero Fests are also scheduled and will be as follows:
- Highlander – May 21th
- Zhanhu – May 28th
- Warden – June 4th
A new balance rework will go live with TU2, continuing ongoing adjustments to hero performance and combat systems. Full details will be available in the patch notes that will go live tomorrow on the season’s launch, on April 23rd.
