Ubisoft has confirmed that the Hitokiri is the latest warrior to join For Honor, arriving as part of the medieval brawler's second season of Year 3 next week. The character will come in both male and female variations, the publisher said.
Those of you who own the Year 3 pass will gain access to the Hitokiri first from May 2, after which it will be rolled out for everyone else a week later. If you fall into the latter, then it's probably best to start stocking up on Steel.
'The Hitokiri are ghostly warriors who have lost all faith in humanity,' reads the blurb. 'They wander the land clutching their Masakari, the mighty axes they used to sentence criminals, their presence on the battlefield spreading a black cloud that can terrify all enemies. This new archetype will have both female and male versions: Sakura and Yato. The Hitokiri will be immediately playable for all owners of the Year 3 pass on May 2 10 AM PST, while all other players will be able to unlock the Hitokiri on May 9 for 15,000 Steel.'
Ubisoft also confirmed that For Honor has notched up 20 million players worldwide since its release on PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One in February 2017.
