Destiny Arrives in For Honor’s New Halloween Event
“Light of the Guardians” brings an exciting Dominion-like game mode, new skins, a new boss, and more
CANADA — October 23, 2024 — Today, Ubisoft announced that For Honor’s thrilling new Halloween crossover event, inspired by action MMO Destiny, launches tomorrow. The “Light of the Guardians” event will bring a spine-chilling game mode, Destiny-inspired skins, a new event pass, and more.
Inspired by Destiny, one of the world’s most popular first-person shooter video games and action MMOs, the “Light of the Guardians” event will start on October 24 and run until November 14, bringing an eerie take on the Dominion game mode. Players must secure points and fight on the grounds of the Cathedral, where they will come face-to-face with the terrifying Scorn Baron waiting within its walls. Alongside the new mode, two new Destiny-inspired Lawbringer and Centurion skins, The Violet King and The Crucible Lord, inspired by Destiny’s Saint-14 and Lord Shaxx respectively, will be available on October 24.
With “Light of the Guardians” comes the Free Event Pass, where players can unlock exclusive rewards such as a mood effect, an ornament, and a Battle Outfit. During the event, Destiny-themed weapons will drop at the end of the matches as loot. In addition, other Destiny-themed items will also be available in the in-game store for the duration of the event, including emotes, a podium, an Illustrious Outfit, and more. The Destiny-inspired skins will remain available for players to purchase after the event’s end date.
In addition, players can unlock unique prizes by completing a community order with a stretch goal of three milestones, each with their own prize. Completing Milestone 1 will reward 2,000 Steel, and completing Milestone 2 will unlock 2,000 Steel and 4XP Boosts. Reaching the third and final milestone will unlock the Ghost Trophy ornament for all Heroes, 1,000 Steel and an XP Boost. Players must work together to complete the order and reach each milestone.
Title Update 2 will also feature the return of Tales of Rebellion: Pillage from November 21 to November 28, as well as three Hero Fests for Gryphon on November 14, Tiandi on November 21, and Jormungandr on November 28.
“Light of the Guardians” is a parallel storyline launching as part of For Honor’s Year 8 Season 3, The Shield of Svengard, in which the fate of Valkenheim rests in the hands of the indomitable Viking Gudmundr. Inspired by Norse mythology, this season introduced a new Battle Pass and Battle Bundle, new seasonal customization, the Viking Village, and other exciting updates to For Honor.
With over 30 million players, For Honor is available to play now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC with Xbox Game Pass, as well as on PlayStation®4 and Ubisoft+, the Ubisoft subscription service. For Honor is also playable on PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X | S through backward compatibility.
