At 13:00 BST/08:00 ET/05:00 PT, For Honor players will be able to download the latest patch to the game that coincides with the launch of For Honor’s season 2.

You can check out a full list of the changes below, and there are a lot of them. One  of them is that Ubisoft has made it so guardbreak and attacks can no longer be cancelled by players quickly switching. Once Patch 1.07 is live, you’ll also earn more XP from PvP battles, and be able to loot a new rare gear called Epic.
