Ubisoft has announced that For Honor Year 5 Season 2 Title Update 2.0 will be released on 22 July and adding a new playable hero, the Kyoshin, to the game. The Kyoshin are mystical Samurai wielding a concealed blade, whose elegance and prowess will leave everyone in awe on the battlefield.
Joining the Samurai faction, the Kyoshin are legendary warriors who have a deep connection to the spiritual realms. Their special training led them to master the art of fighting with the Shikomizue, a concealed single-handed blade and a scabbard. As they flow through battle, their heavenly powers can be used against enemies while their special Kaze Stance blocks incoming attacks, allowing them to retaliate quickly. Starting 22 July, players will be able to purchase a package from first-party stores that include the new Kyoshin Hero, one exclusive Ornament, one Elite Outfit, seven days of Champion Status and three scavengers crates. Starting 5 August, players can also unlock the Kyoshin Hero for 15,000 Steel in-game.
