[Watch] For Honor season pass content detailed, will last three seasons

Ubisoft announced the details of the For Honor season pass today, which will include a number of new heroes and gear. Unlike most season passes, all of the content (other than the heroes) will be available on launch day, February 14th.

The For Honor Season Pass can be purchased alongside the full game or through the Gold Edition. The contents of the For Honor Season Pass include:

• Six all-new Heroes available seven days before released to all players
• Six elite outfits to customize the new Heroes
• Day One War Pack
  • One exclusive sunbeam effect on emotes for all Heroes
  • Three exclusive emblem outlines
  • Three scavenger crates to unlock additional gear
  • 30-day Champion Status that gives XP boosts to friends, more XP from crafting and additional end-match loot

The new Heroes will be progressively released by batches of two at the beginning of a new Season of the Faction War – the persistent cross-platform metagame that will evolve the war across the world of For Honor. After this early-access period, these Heroes can be unlocked via Steel, the For Honor in-game currency given for completing matches and in-game challenges.

Additional free content will also be released across three Seasons following launch. This post-launch content, including new maps, modes, and gear, will be available for free to all players. Season Pass holders will receive early access to some elements of this post-launch content.

It's part of Ubisoft's effort of revamping DLC by providing only non-essential items for purchase, while all others will remain free of charge. For Honor releases next week, and be sure to check out our beta impressions this past weekend. There will also be a closed beta from February 9th to the 12th for those still unsure about the game.
