Many would say Ubisoft had a very strong showing back at E3. With so many titles on showcase and games to look forward to, you would think having more things to share would be problematic. At Gamescom, Ubisoft had no problems at all going into further details about their upcoming games alongside new game modes. We even had a brand new game announcement that will bring back a long-running strategy series. There are a lot of games to cover so let’s dive straight in and see what information Ubisoft to share with us. Here are the highlights of Ubisoft at Gamescom 2018.
For Honor Gets Arcade Mode
Marching Fire will be the biggest update to For Honor when it adds in the Wu Lin faction, significant graphical enhancements and a new PvP mode. While this sounds like giant additions, there is one more mode that For Honor will get: arcade mode. Arcade mode will throw players into randomly generated combat scenarios of ranging difficulty. As you complete challenges and play through the mode, players can unlock new rewards that can let you level up your gear and reputation level. Everything you do in the arcade mode transfers to the multiplayer, so this can be a great place to try out new heroes and new attack options. Marching Fire marches onto the battlefield October 16. If you’re an Xbox Live gold member, you can get the game for free between now and September 15 through Games with Gold.
