The intense hack-and-slash fighting game "For Honor" will be receiving a few tweaks in its upcoming fourth season. The game's developers at Ubisoft Montreal will be adding two new playable heroes for players to try out and master, as well as two brand new maps that will surely bring forth some new challenges.

In a promotional video released, it is stated that the title of the fourth season is "Order and Havoc," whereas the previous season was called "Grudge and Glory." The upcoming game mode, which is called Dominion Ranked Activity, will have a system that rates a player's skill in full-scale combat. This applies for players who engage in solo gaming or team games. The full details of the Dominion Ranked Activity are still unclear.

Another new mode is called Tribute Mode, wherein players will be tasked to fight for one of three offerings that they will be able to bring back to their own bases. These offerings will provide everyone in the faction with buffs.

The two new heroes that will be introduced to players are the Aramusha and the Shaman, as reported by Polygon. The Aramusha warrior will be a new addition for the Samurai faction, and the Shaman will be part of the Vikings faction. The addition of the two new heroes puts each faction's hero roster at six, which further expands in-game possibilities for players.

According to Cinelinx, the Aramusha is a samurai hybrid that wields two katanas. This makes for a defensive character with which players have to be defensive minded and will patiently have to wait for opportune moments to unleash a flurry of devastating attacks upon their foes from all angles and directions. The Shaman is described to have assassin-like attributes with high offensive prowess. Aggressive players will enjoy the Shaman the most.

The fourth season will be made available on Nov. 14 for players who have availed of the season pass. This gives players of the game a whole week to master the new heroes and the game modes ahead of everyone else.
