For Honor Update 2.43 Patch Notes

Maintenance Details:

Date: April 27th, 2023
Time: 9 AM EDT / 1 PM UTC
Estimated downtime: Up to 2 hours
Patch version: 2.43.0

Ubisoft revealed via Twitter that the Great Wait has begun, and maintenance is now starting to deploy TU2. Since the developers have not yet released the complete list of patch notes, we can infer what might be coming considering the recent Warrior’s Den recap that came out recently.

Test Your Metal is back! Death by Metal Game mode

The Fanatics are roundly defeated at the Battle of Secluded Keep. But rather than executing the remaining survivors, the Inquisition challenges them to a trial by combat.

The Fanatics must face judgment in battle while dressed as the legendary figures they revere-the relic heroes. The Inquisition also forces warriors from around Heathmoor to test their metal in fights to the death. With the event will come a free event pass.

Battle Outfit: Inquisition’s Rule
Ornament: Inquisition Trials
Mood Effect: Shadow Cult

We’re also bringing back the black armor sets retrofitted for all heroes. The black weapons will also return but are not retrofitted. The color swatches Blackstone Elite & Iron Legion will also be returning and available to loot during the event. There will also be 3 weeks of time-limited lootable rewards.

Battle Outfit: Age of Wolves (Time Limited Available Week 1) April 27^th – May 4^th
Embossing: Apollyon’s Might (Time Limited Available Week 2) May 4^th – May 11th
Emote: I AM WAR (Time Limited Available Week 3) May 11^th – May 18^th

We’re also bringing back realistic duel from May 18^th to May 25^th. Players can loot the black color swatch Apollyon during the event.

Armor Variations

Below is the release schedule for armor variations. We’ll be following this armor release plan moving forward.

Y7S1: Knight and Samurai Armor Variations
Y7S2: Viking, Wu Lin, and Outlanders Armor Variations
Y7S3: Knight and Samurai Armor Variations
Y7S4: Viking, Wu Lin, and Outlanders Armor Variations

On April 27^th, we will be releasing the Gladiator armor set 5A and 5B.
