Ubisoft's For Honor will be entering into its Closed Beta early next year, announces the publisher. They've also unleashed a slew of fresh trailers.

Vikings, Samurai and Knights will face-off in this multiplayer clash of swords, axes and beards. They will launch a limited War of the Factions event that will finally answer who is the mightiest of history's warriors during the beta.

For Honor offers 12 unique heroes across the three factions with a few more now revealed by Ubisoft: 

• Peacekeeper

Selected from the desperate, the humbled or the devoted, they are sworn to secrecy by unbreakable oaths. Quick and lethal, they fight with a short sword in one hand and a dagger in the other. Peacekeepers are the deadliest duelists of all Assassins, capable of winning a fight before their enemy even knows they are here.

• Shugoki

Once the guardians of the Samurai, they have become as family. Massive and fierce, their weapon of choice is the kanabo, a huge stick that only they can wield efficiently. The Shugoki might not have the same agility as the other Samurai, but their rock-like resistance and demon-like strength make them an unavoidable force on the battlefield.

• Warlord

Warlord is a name from an ancient Viking tradition, a name that is earned by only the true leaders in combat, those who are ready to spend their whole life servicing all who need it. Warlords’ shields are as versatile as they are strong and their sword, while simple in design, is sharp and deadly.

Faction War is the full metagame that runs across all platforms For Honor releases on that and keeps track of the Knights, Vikings and Samurai as players battle it out. War Assets are earned by players once they choose a faction to pledge to and then commence arse-kicking online. These can be deployed and spent holding territory throughout the 10-week seasons, after which the War Assets get reset and the winning faction gets sweet rewards and glory.

"Players will learn why these brave heroes have gone to war with one another in the new campaign trailer that dives deeper into the world of For Honor and Apollyon, the main antagonist of the game, who seeks to incite war amongst the various factions. The new trailer details the motivations of the three factions including the Knights of the Iron Legion, the Warborn Viking clans and the Samurai of the Dawn Empire," said Ubisoft of the new trailers.

For Honor releases on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 February 14th, 2017 with a Closed Beta commencing in January.
