For Honor zal volgende week een nieuwe patch gaan krijgen, maar Ubisoft heeft nu alvast de changelog vrijgegeven. De patch wordt al verspreid voor de PC en voor de consoles is de patch zojuist het certificerings-proces ingegaan bij Sony en Microsoft. De patch focust zich vooral op wijzigingen ten goede van de balans en tweaks voor de Heroes Centurion en Shinobi.

De patch biedt ook een vernieuwde focus op het verminderen van rage-quitters in het midden van de match. Zo komt Ubisoft nu met een penalty die eerst in de vorm van een waarschuwing zal zijn en bij meerdere keren een ban van tien minuten, wat dan langzaam op kan lopen tot meer.

Alhoewel deze patch de mogelijkheid biedt om de nieuwe regels tot rage-quitting te kunnen gebruiken, zal dit pas op een latere datum echt van kracht zijn, aldus Ubisoft.
