It’s easy to think that Ubisoft only does certain games in certain franchises, but as the last few years have proven, they are more than capable of going to new places in order to make great games. Case in point, For Honor, their brutal team battle game that pits Knights, Vikings, and Samurai against one another. The game was a bold new idea from Ubisoft, and from the moment it launched, it was indeed a successful game. But now, we know even more how successful it is.
For in an update on their blog, Ubisoft noted that For Honor has crossed into 15 million player territory.
“For Honor’s biggest update ever, Marching Fire, launches October 16, but fans have a big reason to celebrate ahead of the arrival of new Heroes, modes and more. For Honor has surpassed 15 million players! The game’s population has continued to grow since launch with the release of several major post-launch updates, new Heroes, gear, training features and the shift to dedicated servers.”
Needless to say, reaching this milestone is humbling by the Ubisoft team:
“Warriors fight together and this is exemplified by the ever-growing For Honor community of players worldwide. Over the last year, we have worked tirelessly to do right by our community as we continue to build and expand the world of For Honor, and it is the community’s passion that has ensured that we have been able to stay the course,” says Stephane Cardin, senior producer at Ubisoft Montreal. “On behalf of the entire team, we would like to thank the 15 million warriors that have taken up arms and joined us on the battlefield. We are deeply honored to have reached this milestone, and we will continue to support For Honor so that more may enjoy what we’ve built so far.”
More content is coming for the title, and it’ll be fun to watch and see if it gets past 20 million at some point.
