The Kyoshin is the new class in For Honor

When it comes to multiplayer action and brutal melee clashes very few games deliver such a satisfying experience as For Honor. It does not matter what faction or hero you choose from the ones available in the game. Whether you are a Knight Warden using a longsword, a Viking Berserker dual-wielding hand axes, or a Samurai Kensei with a huge nodachi, For Honor allows you to experience the thrill of the war in savage battles across a variety of battlefields. With 28 different heroes spread across four factions, the game already features plenty of classes that you can choose from, and each of them is specialized in a unique form of melee combat. But it's not enough for its developers, and an upcoming update will add a new hero to the game.

The Kyoshin are legendary samurai warriors whose elegance and prowess leave everyone in awe on the battlefield. Their weapon of choice is the Shikomizue, a single-handed sword concealed in a scabbard that unleashes its full potential once it's drawn and that may catch any unsuspecting enemy by surprise. By using the blade and the scabbard as separate weapons, the Kyoshin can adapt to different combat situations, but their high mobility and lethal strikes are usually more than enough to take down enemies.

The Kyoshin will be unlockable on July 22 in For Honor as part of an exclusive pack that includes the class, an exclusive ornament, an elite outfit, and a few more goodies, and you will also be able to get access to it with in-game money a few weeks later. Meanwhile, there are plenty of other classes that you can play in For Honor. If you have not tried the game yet, you can find it at the best price on our comparator anytime.
