Y10S1 Warrior's Den Recap

Welcome to our 10TH Year! Join us in the celebration as Cycle of War launches on March 12.

We started this Year reveal with panache! If you have missed the Y10 Reveal trailer which unveil the Yearly Roadmap, you can check it out HERE.

We presented the updates planned for our Season 1 during our first Warrior’s Den of Year 10 and we are even more excited to confirm For Honor will continue past Y10. This is an amazing milestone we are honored to celebrate with you and thanks to you, our glorious warriors.

To celebrate this 10th anniversary, the reputation 100 is now achievable with the exclusive execution “Look at my trophy” as a reward.

For more details we suggest checking out the VOD for Y10 Reveal Warrior's Den Livestream.

The Khatuns rule Heathmoor. Horkos and Chimera have knelt or fallen. Enraged, Gryphon nearly fades away, but instead he travels, observing the innocent suffer under cold peace and the warriors who’ve lost the will to fight. Swayed to spark change, Gryphon dons a new suit of armor and becomes The Scorching Herald.

Around campfires and in ruined strongholds, the Herald shares epic stories of spirit and purpose. He speaks of Apollyon, Tozen, Gudmundr—of glory earned, tested, and forged in monumental battles. His embellished tales conjure a Glorious Dream Arena, where past and present meet, reminding warriors of what they can still become. With each fire lit, The Scorching Herald inspires a new era of battle.

New Legendary Hero Skin: The Scorching Herald

Heathmoor lives under the stifling peace imposed by Guljin and her Khatuns. While most submit, Gryphon endures. Unable to fight openly, he takes on a new mantle as The Scorching Herald, wearing a fiery griffon-shaped armor forged to reveal his true potential. Through grand tales of legendary battles, he rekindles the taste for glory and sets the cycle of war in motion once more.

This Legendary Skin includes a voice over rework and never-seen before permanent visual effects for a skin that feels powerful, unique, and impossible to miss in-game.

To celebrate this next step in Skin realisation on For Honor, the bundle Tales of Gryphon including the Hero Gryphon, the Scorching Herald Skin, 14-day champion status and 6 scavenger crates is available too!

Gryphon will be free to play for a full week, starting on March 12th, with the Hero Trials.

The Battle Pass introduces a new aesthetic inspired by Shining Glory: embody the Spirit of the Sun and the Moon to exult worthiness and illuminate the battlefield with the Exultant Weapons, the Exultant Sunlight Mood Effect and more.

We have also worked on a new kind of emote for the Battle Pass rewards: Victory Lap is our first traversal Emote, now allowing players to roam gloriously around the battlefield.

Releasing at the same time, the Legacy Pass will bring back loved content from Y6S1 and the lost reliquary of Wyverndale: from the ancient past of Heathmoor comes old weapons that once again glisten in the light of day. Arm yourself with the blades of Heathmoor’s original warriors, and fight like the forebears of old.

To launch our Y10 Season 1 with a blast, Warriors will be able to claim the Warden Hero Skin Lord Ramiel in the Y10S1 Battle Bundle.

New Event with Limited-Time Game Mode Arena of Echoes:

Starting the Season with the fighting memories of formidable foes, the new mode “Arena of Echoes” will allow three teams of two players to be randomly paired with iconic characters from the campaign, either Apollyon, Tozen or Gudmundr, to fight against in intense battles. Each of them will give a shield Boost to your team if you defeat them, but be careful to protect your own team, as you cannot revive fallen iconic characters.

Arena of Echoes will run from March 12th to April 2nd and, moving forward, players will need to either play the game mode event or complete daily orders to unlock the rewards. We’ve also made progression faster for players to be able to unlock the full event pass more easily. Play the Event to have a chance to claim the Griffin Inspiration Battle Outfit, the Griffin Seal Mood effect or the Ornament Griffin Union.

A new armor set will also be added for this free event pass, for Conqueror.

Guljin and her Khatuns have imposed a stifling peace on Heathmoor, yet Gryphon remains defiant: As glory spreads so does unrest, and the cycle of war stirs once more. Step into the Arena of Echoes to engrave your name in Legends – on par with Apollyon, Gudmundr or Tozen - with for the first time an Event Leaderboard that will span for the duration of the Event (see below for more details).

As we mentioned above, there will be also the implementation of Event Leaderboards this Season. Those leaderboards are tied to the event-game mode only and will consider your performance when you play the Event game mode. The tracked metric will change depending on the Game Mode Event’s gameplay. Check out where you stand and climb the ladder of success before the leaderboard closes at the same time than the Event! However, once the game mode ends, you’ll still have some time to check out the leaderboard before it disappears. Temporary Events Leaderboards will be available for all Events game modes of Year 10.

Hero Fests will run for a week, offering a unique execution and an extra XP bonus for each of the Heroes below:

• Raider, April 2nd

• Sohei, April 9th

• Centurion, April 16th

Customization has seen major upgrades last year with the addition of a 9th loadout and we are now increasing the inventory limit to 120, to ensure you can customize your Heroes to your heart's content.

Speaking of customization, starting tomorrow, you’ll have the option to equip all when selection patterns, symbols or embossing. You’ll also be able to copy existing loadout to another slot. The process to choose and purchase from the outfit items page has also been reworked to be more intuitive. For Fashion!

We will also put more emphasis on the Lore starting from now-on, with efforts to have Heroes connected actively into the narrative by treating them increasingly more as personified characters, while keeping them fully customizable to ensure our players can express their individuality.

Year 10 Season 1 Armor variations will offer new customization possibilities to Knight Heroes and with the newly added 120 limits on inventory, you can be the most stylish warrior on the battlefield on all occasions.

The latest patch note is including an extensive rework to improve the balancing of Heroes and is a testament of our will to continuously improve the game experience. See below a quick summary of the changes that will be made starting March 12. An article will be made available at the launch of the Season that detail the full balancing changes.

• The following heroes will be reworked with various changes: Aramusha, Gryphon, Jormungandr, Shinobi, Virtuosa, Warden, Warlord, Black Prior, Conqueror, Gladiator, Hitokiri, Sohei and Juren

• The following feats have also been reworked: Bounty Hunter, Longbow, Neptune’s Wrath, Javelin, Boleadoras, Flaming Arrow and Last Laugh

The show wrapped up with a look at upcoming content for March, including weekly Arcade Quests, event orders, and more. As a friendly reminder, we encourage you to check out the VOD on our Twitch channel, where you'll find a more in-depth look at what's to come.

That’s it for the first Warrior’s Den of Year 10, bathed in Glory. See you on the battlefield in the Arena of Echoes!
