Is pirate faction the next thing in For Honor? | Forums

I like the idea of a Chinese inspired class. The sword looks like a "Dao"? Someone correct me if I'm wrong on the name, please.

The more I think of it, I think we will see a Chinese hero, or maybe a whole faction. I know that Ubisoft have an office there which produces art and 3D-models for the game, so the step is probably not far. The market is also huge in China, at least of they are allowed to play the game. The government are pretty hard with censoring content that isn't to their liking.

I wouldn't be totally against a Chinese warrior, but I do think Arabic warriors would look more badass and would be more of a breath of fresh air than Chinese warriors.

The point is just, that an Arabic hero wouldn't really be much different from a knight.

Both had proper armour like chain mails, plate armour, etc
Both had similar weapons like swords (straight or curved), greatswords, spears, halberds, etc

The only real difference is that curved swords are more made for cutting and straight swords more for thrusting.

I think he is no asian warrior, check the background that sand and trees, seems pretty exotic isn't it?

I was just joking when I said it, sarcasm is hard to convey online.

True but then again look at the Samurai in this game living in a thick jungle-like swamp land instead of a more traditional Japanese forest. The warrior and the background don't always match.

You got me there mate. Could still be in favor of pirates or middle east though.
I saw a thread here suggesting a mercenary faction to "dump" some more or less random warriors, could also be this.

In the new video we are told there are cool surprises coming to For Honor. Then we are shown (4:26) what I perceive as a cutlass. Could that mean there is a pirate faction coming to For Honor? I think it would work lore wise, pirates don't need land, they roam the seas, so the universe would be intact.

That weapon in particular inst a Cutlass. Well, it may be, but there is a whole other selection that could indicate it's not JUST a Cutlass.
It can be a Biziting Empire's infantry sword
It can be a Scimitar
It can be a Chinese Nandao

There is also a lot more of what this hero could be. However evidence shows that this new hero isnt a Knight. Given that they attack the Warden (also, the blade doesn't stop it just goes into slo mo)

OK, let's bring this back on topic. It may very well be an Arabic warrior. I think everyone is totally cool with that, as long as you can play the new hero(es) as a female I'm fine with it. Would feel wrong to leave that out I think.
