Since launching early last year, For Honor has received a number of additional heroes for its three factions--Knights, Vikings, and Samurai. As announced during Ubisoft's E3 press conference, the game will be getting a new faction: the Chinese fighting force Wu Lin. This comes in October as part of a major free update that will signal the beginning of Season 8,.

When it's introduced, the Wu Lin faction will consist of four heroes. Publisher Ubisoft has only announced two of these heroes: the Tiandi and Shaolin. Tiandi is a vanguard-type hero who's armed with a curved blade and specializes in dodge attacks. With its flowing fighting style, the Tiandi is meant to be an easier hero for beginners to use.
