- For Honor is a fighting game developed and published by Ubisoft. The game features players playing as characters from various medieval-themed factions ranging from Iron Legion (Knights) to the Dawn Empire (Samurai).
As a competitive title with a high skill ceiling and unique mechanics, For Honor has a passionate grassroots community that took root following the game's launch. While there have been various tournaments including appearances at the EVO Championship Series, it has been challenging for the title to break into the mainstream.
This is the story of For Honor esports.

What is an underrated game that you believe would make for (or is) a great esports title?
Team Fortress 2?
TF2 (both) and Brawlhalla come to mind
Watch the paint dry
competitive civ lol
Not necessarily underrated because it's not even out yet, but I think Century: Age of Ashes will have a lot of potential when it comes to esports
It's a pretty cool game
P.S. That Warden at 5:47 is pretty hot
Damn, you should start making videos on it
Didn't expect you here! :D
Love Naraka gameplay
Oh youuu
Thanks for stopping by our comment section :D
Hey Havok
y'all are out here giving spotlights to games and scenes that no other dedicated esports channel will even touch! mad respect. stay genuine fam!
Really nice to see FH getting some positive press and showing how much it's improved over the years! Now's a really good time to get into playing it competitively, and it's really starting to take off as an esport.
The game is great but every character is Loosing their uniqueness
A suprise for sure, but a welcome one
cough cough the score esports covering twitch drama cough cough
As a For Honor player (casual not comp of course) Im Very Excited man Im so glad They shed some light on it
Thanks for the support of our game and community.
Cool to see Raven being included in the video!
Love u freeze
Sup Uncle Freeze
omg its dad!
Fuck yeah Freeze, FH needs its time to shine.
Freeze, could you make a video commenting on the feasibility of a combo system in For Honor? I play both Street Fighter and For Honor and I don't see spam complaints on Street Fighter. I believe this is because the characters' stronger mechanics and the greatest damage is only achieved if you know how to execute the combo correctly.
Really appreciate the For Honor support. This was my sign to jump back in
same hahahahha
I hope this gets more people into competitive for honor and for honor in general, the most slept on competitive game, slept on by everyone including ubisoft.
For Honor is pretty much the step child of Ubi right now. Hopefully more people join it will make them care about it more.
@@randomuser-mv7bb no bruh it’s shit Nd it’s eating me alive
@@itszmodz-_-6532 If a game is ''shit'', its either unbalanced or your just hot garbage.
@@CappuccinoWithCheese The game is incredibly unbalanced with incredibly broken mechanics. Sadly it had potential on release but as the game progressed the Devs made more and more questionable decisions until now it's basically unplayable.
@@fireboogaloo6871 its just the same thing with most strategic games
I'm already 1100 hours deep into this game, I just wanted to see how well he explained it
I want to play it but can u please tell me which character is the most annoying and over power
@@theendiswhereibegin906 Shugoki is S tier for dominion and the easiest to access from a new account if you pick samurai
he did pretty good
@@theendiswhereibegin906 top tip: don’t play peacekeeper
@@orn6431 I spam and stan orochi
For honor dominion is something that a MOBA guy, shooter guy and fgc guy come together to play together.
how is it shooter?
He means people who play the games, i come from shooter, mmo and some moba and i used to play
Dominion is a very shallow version of a MOBA.
@@thelouster5815 i see no connection with domination and MOBA its more of conquest/domination modes you see on fps like battlefield and call of duty
@@marzialalfonzocanada888 Despite the fact that the comp scene likes to describe Dominion as a mode with MOBA elements, comparing it to Conquest/Domination is not helping its case since the comp scene in both Battlefield/CoD avoid those gamemodes.
Such a unique Esports Game. Love to see more Genres besides Shooters and Mobas in future Esports Leagues and For Honor is definitely a unique addition.
Without frequent balance changes the game will never be a proper Esport.
Anyway, the game itself has a fun original concept, I had a genuine good time playing it, some team brawls can be really intense, even though the game can be wacky sometimes.
you forgot fighting and card games
I saw a Cities : Skyline tourney on Saturday
@@El_Chuchuca it does get frequent balance changes but the main issue is its popularity
@@forhonorarena6193 I think the issue was because of how long the balance changes came, the popularity worsened over time. The game was harder to play and enjoy because of imbalances that weren't fixed in good time. This is coming from a huge longtime player of FH, so I'm not just bein a hater here. (huge as in i love the game, not popularity or anything lol)
I’ve thought for a long time that For Honor is a really underrated game for esports. It’s had bad balancing issues for a long time, but things are improving, and it has one of the most unique combat systems in gaming. I’ve heard even people who don’t like the game often express that they go back to it purely because of how good the combat system can be.
Is the balancing better? Last I've heard they gave nerfs the lawbringer and centurion that just shredded their identity and then released jormungdir, who was essentially day 1 centurion. I left because they just kept violating shinobi by constantly nerfing him, and he was my favorite
@@jasonarreguin1047 That was a verrrrrrry long time ago. Centurion got his rework like, a year ago, and is now one of the better balanced characters in the game. Shinobi just got his rework in the testing grounds, and it looks like he's going to be genuinely viable by the next season. Jorm, on the other hand, is arguably one of the weakest characters in the game in its current state. You should see how much things have changed!
Last I checked, centurion couldn't combo charged punch into the jump anymore, which was his whole gimmick, shinobi lost almost half his bar of stamina doing a kick and it didn't have armor or do as much stamina damage, and jorg was dominating like s2 centurion. I am curious to see what changes have been made though, but id rather see a log of changes so I can read from when I was there and follow everything that happened as I left
@@jasonarreguin1047 That's a lot of reading.
@@robbu2445 id be willing to see what changes they've made. Most are probably disappointing if I had to guess
I think the best part of thegame is the fashion aspect, seriously, there's just no other gane with this amount of customization.
But the loot system
@@War_Economy_Enjoyer Do you ever wonder why are we here?
@@rayder3543 th-cam.com/video/XpGpxJVgIrc/w-d-xo.html
@@War_Economy_Enjoyer Neat.
Drip over xp all day
This game is honestly slept on so much. Been an absolute journey learning and mastering the mechanics of this game for the last 4 years, crazy looking back on it all like this.
YOU
@@DeezNuggz ME
@@ArsonBoy5996 is it still the same 4 people circle jerking in fhg?
Ah yes, the 4 legendary factions known for war. Knights, vikings, samurai and MONK
Its actually a faction called the wulin, a chinese warrior faction. They mightve missed it
@@abiker98 i know that, they said monk was a faction
Actually its comunists :)
We all love monke
@@RaggenZ everyone loves monke ook
The only reason I quit is because my laptop can't handle it anymore.
Such a fun, unique game
When you have less than 30 fps PepeHands

One of the cooler and more intresting games I've played, I also really reccomend the documentary on its development (its on netflix), it's about both the guy who proposed the first concept and all the struggles the game went trough development (including but not limited to: crunch culture)
WHAAAAAT?! WHEN TF DID THEY MAKE A NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY ON IT? BRRRRRUH. I didn't think it would be popular enough for that.
Edit: I looked on Netflix but I couldn't find it. Must not be watchable in my region. Damn I wokld love to watch that.
Edit:OOOOO I THINK I FOUND IT ON U TUBE. THANKS FOR LETTING US KNOW THERE'S A DOCU.
@@chickenchowmein6802 what Is It called??
@@inserisciunnome just type in for honor documentary on u tube. it should be the first result
Thats so cool theres a documentary
As someone who plays other fighting games I want to point out some things I really enjoy about this game that I wish other fighting games would start doing more of.
- Online training mode (Guilty gear: Strive also has it but there are a lot that do not)
- The ability to play ALL characters in training mode (You do not have to look up data online for other characters to learn how to beat them, and you are able to try a character before you buy it)
- You can buy ALL characters with the in game currency (I bought the base game when it came out and now own all 29 heroes and only purchased 5 of them with $)
- Great customization options (Multiple armor sets and weapons to deck your guy out and really make him stand out from the rest)
This game got me to try other fighting games and fall in love with the genre and I get more and more excited seeing all the toxic problems of the game get patched out and I highly recommend trying the game out if you ever get the chance.
It's so weird hearing this being talked about positively.
Omg he actually did a video on ForHonor, let’s gooo!
Been with For Honor from it's very start (mainly since am a sucker for Medievil Knights and Fighting games)
What was probably the most curious thing about For Honor, that it legitimately took the devs YEARS to realize that what they made was, in fact, a Fighting game.
As initially For Honor was effectively pitched as an action/Moba/Dynasty Warriors-lite hybrid game.
Also, while controversial, I'd say this game still remains a fair monument on Ubisofts long-term support of games. Adding Dedicated servers and supporting it even through it's dark times, couldn't have been profitable, but they still did it. A LOT of people dropped the game cold during it's initial launch and peer-to-peer time.
They invited tekkens harada to play the game before launch so they definitively knew it was at least related. Its more that none of the devs had any real fg experience imo.
Great coverage! Thank you for the spotlight!
For Honor is an experience that hits you deep in your core, inspiring strong emotions and an intensity that is incomparable to anything else out there.
Absolutely, it was a pleasure to learn more about the grassroots scene during the research phase of the video.
Hito: *heby heby heby*
You: So beautiful...this really says a lot...
This is my most played video game ever and it’s so disheartening knowing that it could’ve been so much more popular. Thank you for making this video
I am on same boat man, I left after a year into release. The game was unplayable back then and it lost like 90% of its player base because Ubisoft wont release it with a dedicated server. I am just waiting for someone to make a new version of the game and launch it properly. Fuck Ubisoft.
The little game that could. Every time you think it's gone, we're still here.
So glad someone made a vid on this game . It is truly a unique expreince, and i hope the game gets a bigger following in the future
Ooooo you're bringing up a lot of good memories right now. And with some of the system changes you've mentioned, the curiousity to see the modern version is high.
Thanks.
Fresh. If you want to get back into for honor, be ready for all the new Op characters. Trust me,
@@thedonkey6704 newest character the last time I played was the Gladiator. Who's the new FOTM that I need to learnt he match up for as soon as possible?
@@BentfFish no idea what fotm means. But griffon,hitokiri,black prior,and warmonger all are high tier characters
*Evil CCU laughs"
For honor is such an amazing experience of a game, i love videos like this that put it into the spotlight, it's finally getting the attention it deserves
Been playing since beta, I couldn't be more happy with the direction this game is going now, it really has become something great and I'm happy the devs didn't just let it die off
I've played this game since it first came out. I've continuously watched this game mold and change before my eyes. When we say it's one of a kind, we mean there is nothing else like it
Niche and in-depth as always. Love this channel and proud to be a Patron!
I actually really enjoy watching competitive for honor and think this video was a very good summary of the game comp scene over the years, good job 👍
Fantastic video. For Honor is still an excellent game and I've enjoyed it from the day it first released to even now as I make content on the game itself.
It might've had a rough start but years later and after numerous patches, fixes, fireworks, the CCU, dedicated servers and now a whole host of characters to choose from and learn I'm honestly amazed at how dedicated the community is and how well the game plays now compared to launch. I'm 1000 hours in and I've been playing on and off since 2018 but once you get to grips with how it plays, and after the rough, humbling stage that is just starting out it becomes addicitvely fun.
This game slaps because it is really unique
I always saw For Honor more as a souls-like (well I wish Dark Souls had that depth in combat) moba than anything else. Thanks for the vid, it actually interests me now.
One of my fav games.
Massively slept on and it would be amazing if it saw more players and support. Plus its music, customisation, memes etc are great (even the story was decent and had a great ending)
i never thought hed actually cover it, i always debated asking but wow this guy is fucking legit
Just wondering if you could do a video on plantz versus zombies heroes? You could talk about how developer mismanagement ruined the game.
This was an amazing video. Would love to see more For Honor videos from you guys.
I love the route this channel is going down
For honor is Dope as hell
It is absolutely astounding to me that this channel makes every game they cover look so compelling. I checked out of following this game after its rocky launch, but I am googling for tournament coverage as I type this. Thanks again for a wonderful video.
been playing this game for 5 years now and it’s amazing to see this pop up in my feed from one of my favorite channels. if you haven’t played it recently, please genuinely give it a try.
The single reason why I gave this a try: it was a PS Plus free game
This game needs more players for sure, the diminishing player base is very clear when trying to queue for any game mode aside from dom, breach, or brawls. I love videos like this because they put some spotlight onto what has become my favourite game, and a game that I want to flourish
I've loved this game since release its so unique
This is one of most unique fighting game MOBA hybrid with amazing graphics and combat depth. The game has become so much better and competitive recently and it desperately needs some e-sport support. It has so much potential.
You're making me want to play this game againnn
do it
I‘ve been a day 1 player but I quit it because its early problems. I‘ve come back multiple times over the years but I never had as much fun as I‘m having recently. The latest update has been a blessing!
A friend of mine had this game, we played it a lot when we were at his house, man the memories this video has unlocked.
Well explained video, glad to see someone took interest in expanding this game's popularity with a side of a potential increase for this community's player base
i started seeing your videos recently and liked your content a lot and every time i see one of these videos i click it to watch and was sooooo excited to see you made a video on for honor since i played on and off since the beginning and was always competitive about it. keep up the good content!
I just got this game a year ago and honestly, I can't quit playing it. I was just watching TH-cam clips of it and thinking it would be really fun. Idk what everyone else's experience with this game is but it's amazing. It never disappoints and I have fun even when I'm losing. Love the video!
Loved this game when it was young, but forgot about it over time. Maybe its time to get back in.
My favorite game got spotlight by a relatively big channel. This game is severely underrated, and people like you breathe new life into it. Ubisoft will continue to support this game as long as new people keep coming. Thank you.
Thank you for giving my favourite game some spotlight. Keep up the good work!
So happy to see for honor getting a spotlight, I've been playing for years and its such a fun and unique game. So to see more people talking about it is amazing
Love to see this. I’m still playing more than 5 years after release and it’s so nice to see the game still getting the love it deserves.
Still on of my favorite games ever. The gameplay is soo unique and fun. So much variety... Might buy psn just to play again this game
for honor is one of my favorite games. since the moment i saw the first gameplay untill now and i'm so glad to see one of my favorite channel talk about it!!!
Thank you so much for talking about one of my absolute most beloved game ever, this game found me friends and inspiration
As someone who plays this game almost religiously, it makes me so happy to see this channel cover it. Ive always wanted this game to be super mad popular. The customization alone is more than enough to play it.
I love this game, I'd just wish that the competitive scene was focused in the 1v1 side of the game instead of the team brawler
I agree. 90% of my time with the game was in duels
4v4s are more fast paced, less defensive and have more depth than 1v1s due to external attacks, ganks, peels and feats.
It had 1v1 tournaments and were a total mess because of balance....
The 1v1 would be better if they tone down the clock a bit like 90 sec or something, to force players more aggressive. 5 minutes is too long, and it rewards the passive playstyle, which makes the game slow and not fun to watch.
@@randomuser-mv7bb doubt that would Solve anything , whoever has the lead doesn't need to do anything and still just wait the clock just for a shorter time.
thanks for covering the game, it deserves more attention
Kinda wished he talked a bit about the depth of the customisation but still epic video as a big for honor fan
For those of you that love FH I recommend Naraka : Bladepoint
Thanks Trixie
Really? I dropped for honor because I found it hard to find games in my region but I'll give blade point a look
BR? no please
Yes For Honor content! Great video:)
I'd love to see you do a video on Evolve! I feel like that's one of the biggest examples of missed potential in recent years
Great minidoc! I really wish this one would get a sequel that focused more on the competitive scene from the jump
Wow, I have to applaud Ubisoft for their creativity and devotion to the game. I seriously thought the game was finished in 2018.
I was hyped in 2017 when it released. But then it was unplayable and I was very sad that they killed such a unique game. One year ago I got back into it and this was where For Honor was at the lowest. I was so afraid that it would die right as i jumped in. But now, glad to see that its here to stay and is even being recognized.
1000 hours later and i can tell u this game is the most unique fighting game out there. Nothing compares
finally a FH video, yesssss. One of my favorite video games of all time
We got it! Yeeees! For honor video!
i remember back in season 1-3 on console. Competitive was so much fun, i was rank 1 for Warden then on ps4. I left however because the community died out from unbalanced new characters.
i might hop back on Pc to see how it is these days. Amazed to see its somehow thriving again.
I'm glad this game is getting attention. It's so underrated man.
This one of the most unique games of it it's time, and by far my favorite game. Hopefully more players will join in and show their glory through battle.
My take on For Honor: the main reason it didn't get as good as it could have is that Ubisoft didn't know that what they were making was a fighting game in the first place. Many of the blunders of year 1 and year 2 could have been avoided if the gameplay was closer to a fighting game than to a zelda, and the game wouldn't have lost as much momentum as it did.
Still, I'm glad that Ubisoft didn't give up on this project, and that they're still showing support to it to this day
I've been playing this game on Xbox now series X since 2017 and I still love it. It is unique and there's nothing out there like it. Improvements have been steadily made and I hope more players support this gem.
Ahhhh thank you thank you for talking about one of my favorite Multiplayer games!
It’s probably never going to happen but I think a futuristic type character would be really cool in this medieval game. They would work with computers and teleportation/ other futuristic actions. Great video!!
Thanks for covering this game! As someone who has 1000's of hours sunk into it, I would highly recommend people to jump in and give it a try, even if you don't play fighting games! I had barely touched fighting games before this and I couldn't get enough when it launched.
been playing For Honor since 2017 and im glad its tarting to get some more recognition
When this came out, I chose to get Nioh 1. A little later on For Honor went free and years later, I'm still playing For Honor. Such a unique game.
Good ol UDDA days 😎
U would think that for honor being one of a kind would kinda bring it up, but the learning curve back then SHEESH
For Honor is the most underrated competitive game to ever be played, and I'm happy to see that Ubisoft is heading it; it means we'll likely never truly see the end of For Honor.
I forgot how much I love this game so I'm gonna go and redownload this right now.
Thanks for the vid
I hope this draws some new players good job on the video
I've been coming and going to this game for the past year and I gotta say, its such a unique fighting game that I just love. The only issue and main reason I keep leaving is the community can sometimes get too toxic and hard to enjoy with my low frame laptop.
5:47 the raven persons profile pick is sung jin woo from solo leveling
Im speechless
Thanks you so much for that shoutout to my favorite game
I was thinking about coming back and going pro hahah
Thanks you again,hope this game can become a even much more played game !
No problem 😊
i dont think i will ever stop watching you guys
never thought there would be somebody making a video about for honor outside of the for honor community
Finally, this game got spotlight!
I’ll never forget Valentine’s Day 2017 and booting this game up for the first time.
We need more Swordfighting Games, they can be so Competitive.
You should make a video on Star Wars Battlefront 2s Heroes Vs Villans Mode, its got such a nice system for competitive play.
Well... yes and no. More games like this is required, but a game that never even got a customs mode isnt really worth looking into. Sadly. Its "what could have been" rather than "what can be"
@@abiker98 Heros VS Villans is definetly a "What could've been" or "What could be" if a standalone game like Squadrons came out. Its great, but with support for BF2 having been cut, there nothing more than a bleeding player base.
I've been in love with this game forever but always take breaks. I'm gonna hop back on it cause of this video
For honor is my favorite fighter since it literally is the only one of its kind right know.
Chivalry and mordhao is so different
Chivalry and Mordhau is just fun and unfiltered chaos
I like how when he mentioned op hero it clipped to shinobi doing the ''infinite'' ranged gb loop
An excellent video!
Glad you liked it!
