Ubisoft announced in December that four new warriors (a Knight, a Samurai, a Viking, and a Wu Lin) will join
For Honor's roster this year, with a never-before-seen hero joining the Knights next month, when Year 3’s new round of content is scheduled to start. While the Year 3 Pass owners will play as this character from the get-go, all other players will be able to unlock him for 15,000 Steel units.
Today, Ubisoft revealed this new Knight's true name – Vortiger, known as the Dark Hero. According to the official description of Vortiger, he "
was swayed by Apollyon’s promises of power. With her defeat, the order [of the Holy Balaur] dispersed and disappeared. Now, the Black Priors have returned and fight for Vortiger, seeking to make amends for their past and pledge fealty to the Knights."
The Black Prior will be available for all
Year of the Harbinger holders on January 31, while all other players will be able to unlock this corrupted warrior on February 7. That's not all, as the Shugoki, Warlord, and Peacekeeper will all receive some major Hero updates next month. Furthermore, a new Dominion map, Harbor, will be accessible to all
For Honor players on January 31 for free.
