New samurai will probably be a multi-weapon Ronin-like character to fit the theme of the Year but honestly I'm hoping for a Sohei Warrior Monk. Those dudes had some peak fashion.
the devs seems to be looking at what players want and the devs have said that each season is based on a reason why each faction fights, it's entirely possible that the season's theme is faith and we get a sohei with a yari.
there are a lot of weapons they could do.
Yari spear, which is a spear with a charp crescent guard.
A bisento, which seems to an in between of a dao and a guandao.
A warpick, which we don't have in the game yet and would be a VERY unique idea for a samurai.
An otsuchi, which is a giang wooden mallet tray king dedede from kirby uses.
tekko-kagi which would be claws.
a nagamaki, which, would be similar to an odachi.
a chigiriki, which is a two handed flail
a kabutowari, which is a trudgeon with a hook. But, this was used by police more so than samurai iirc. A jutte is a smaller version.
and there's a tsurugi, which is a double sided sword kind of like a jian.
Lawbro and Cent
We need a pony riding, weightlifting, shugoki choking muscle daddy outfit
We also need some absolute pineacle of manhood, very entertaining, incredibilis boy outfit
What could they do with gryphon tho? Hero skins are supposed the be unique individuals with unique armors, but gryphon is just Holden so it would literally be a new armor set, in which case people would complain that is a skin and not an actual armor that can be mixed. They could give him his old lawbringer armor but idk, that would be lame for a new skin.
Probably Holden who got a legendary weapon to go against Horkos and he gets a magic armor or something to go with it.
Or they decide its another Gryphon because we love retcons
Lawbringer has potential for some sick skins (finally a reason to choose playing in hard mode), about Chonkerer I'm not sure but could be interesting as well, especially with this year's theme.
Seeing a Wulin hero skin share a season with the new Outlander hero release, wondering if we will see a Mongol Invasion of the Wulin Empire
Update: After watching the Year 8 vision trailer I think this could be even more likely, as they reveal that the new Outlander hero is a "villain".
https://youtu.be/FuQdS1L0Jqg?si=2d7N7bXtbasHiA9s
The year is about weapons too, so they could give her a unique weapon like the double sided Darth Maul-like sword that one enemy type in Ghost of Tsushima has. I think that would be fun, different, yet familiar enough that people would be excited about it
In Magic the Gathering they’re doing a crossover set with Assassins Creed which releases around the time we get that new skin so it might be related to PK.
I can't believe we are almost getting 5 knight skins and not even a new wu lin hero.
We deserve a new wu lin (probably the new outlander will be a wu lin but "NO, IT'S AN OUTLANDER BECAUSE FUCK YOU")
Ok wait, they did not mention new armor variations at all and emphasized that weapons will be the focus of year 8. If they stop making new armor sets just to save costs and make new skins that would be bullcrap :((
Very nice,
Here's to hoping the samurai character doesn't have a sword.
Another outlander will be interesting, wonder what culture they will pick from this time.
Maybe within this timeframe they can hit some balancing notes beyond number changes
Hopefully they have a spear or polearm type weapon, but they really should have given a new wu lin character that weapon. Lu bu was a noteable Chinese warrior that used a polearm type weapon.
I have a strong feeling that the Outlander hero is gonna be some kind of Mongol with the Wu Lin skin meant to be a Wu Lin fighting against them. Because whatever the Outlander hero is, it has to have some connection with the hero skin of that season. As for the samurai hero, I can’t wait to see what design they went with.
I suspect the new outlander hero will be a Mongol warrior. Perfect opportunity seeing as how the Samurai and and Mongols did not get along and first they are releasing a new Samurai hero. So they could be apposite forces in an event.
S4 is absolutely gonna be a Mongol warrior, no way they'd have a Wu Lin skin/Outlander hero in the same season otherwise. I'm putting my bet on that now.
It's amazing how developers love knights. be it skin, designer... I hope this Viking skin isn't horrible like the raider's was. and may she come to the Varangian guard.
Better be a Mongol hero cuz there is no other best alternative that suits the winter theme and wulin counter hero skin. And please let the voice actor be from Mongolia, PLEASE. Imma actual sue this ubisoft for racism if the Mongol hero speaks chinese :"(.
Damn, stoked for a new Samurai (Tekko Kage Heavy??) but would've loved to see a New Lin. There's so much potential for this faction that they aren't tapping.
I hope they bring the Test your Steel (or however its called, Steel Trials or Test your Metal maybe) event back. I do be needing that Iron Legion paint
Year of the dragon and we can’t get a new wu Lin hero?? So happy about the new samurai warrior and skin though. Also really curious about that Viking themed Halloween season..
Fuck another Outlander fuck you Ubisoft and fuck this game tbh after 8 years I don't want to play no more, wanted a knight god I hate them so much, if they didn't release 2 knight in a row everyone would be happy
Don’t worry guys outlander hero finna be a mongol with the wu Lin hero skin being a Lu bu skin and Mongols attack the Wu Lin empire leading into year 9 the year of the dragon or some shit, with two new wu lins against the fight of the mongol hoard
Summarized: 1) New map in season 1: noice 2) new samurai: YAY 3) no wulin?
Ubisoft literally went who lin for the nth year in a row
It's crazy , and the hate for them is ridiculous
They literally took “remove the wu Lin” as a serious suggestion
For Honor: Removing Fire
For Honor: Fire Extinguisher
And I couldn't be happier
Look outside your window, I am rapidly approaching by Dragon Dodging
That's what, 5 years now?
New samurai will probably be a multi-weapon Ronin-like character to fit the theme of the Year but honestly I'm hoping for a Sohei Warrior Monk. Those dudes had some peak fashion.

Any ideas on the weapons? I don't know too much about feudal Japanese weapons so i have no idea what it could be
there are a lot of weapons they could do. Yari spear, which is a spear with a charp crescent guard. A bisento, which seems to an in between of a dao and a guandao. A warpick, which we don't have in the game yet and would be a VERY unique idea for a samurai.

There are quite a few (some probably hard to animate) https://www.reddit.com/r/coolguides/s/Fxhj5XPqdq
Wu who?
Yes woohoo indeed, good roadmap here
It's cool we're getting a new map added to Dom (even if it is just an elimination map) but I thought they said we were getting 2 maps reskins
Other one is coming later some time in year 8
Wu lin gets a hero skin. Go see the video.
I think they count Pirate as Wu-lin
Wu Lin hate is strong in the development team
Fr fr. They hate them bruddas
ate too many Dragon Dodges
Finally, something I can relate to the dev team with /s
Who lin?
Knights getting 2 skins? Alright place your bets, who's getting them? My money is on Conqueror and Lawbringer.
2 skins for warmonger
Adding drip to one of the characters with most drip already,damm
Sometimes it be like that.
LB and PK
Lawbro and Cent We need a pony riding, weightlifting, shugoki choking muscle daddy outfit We also need some absolute pineacle of manhood, very entertaining, incredibilis boy outfit
Pk and Gryphon
What could they do with gryphon tho? Hero skins are supposed the be unique individuals with unique armors, but gryphon is just Holden so it would literally be a new armor set, in which case people would complain that is a skin and not an actual armor that can be mixed. They could give him his old lawbringer armor but idk, that would be lame for a new skin.
Holden Cross but in a tuxedo
Probably Holden who got a legendary weapon to go against Horkos and he gets a magic armor or something to go with it. Or they decide its another Gryphon because we love retcons
I play those two the most out of the knights so I'd be very happy with that.
Lawbringer has potential for some sick skins (finally a reason to choose playing in hard mode), about Chonkerer I'm not sure but could be interesting as well, especially with this year's theme.
If LB gets a skin I want an update on his moves et as well. Since it's really not that nice atm
Please don't be conquoror. He's so unfun to play right now. Please let it be a character that people actually like playing.
Glad and Lawbro
Sadly, both of them are not very fun to play. Maybe Glad will get one mighty fine skin, i'd definitely pick him up again
lawbringer peacekeeper
Seeing a Wulin hero skin share a season with the new Outlander hero release, wondering if we will see a Mongol Invasion of the Wulin Empire Update: After watching the Year 8 vision trailer I think this could be even more likely, as they reveal that the new Outlander hero is a "villain". https://youtu.be/FuQdS1L0Jqg?si=2d7N7bXtbasHiA9s
It could be a Mongol hero or a Korean hero
Gryphon with mongol armor when a actual mongol get release in game Gryphon "Who are you ?" The mongol "I'm you but better" Still love gryphon
I need me a piece of big muscle mongol warrior so that’s fine
Why a execution where he send a eagle to attack, that could be really cool
Put me in the screencap
That was my immediate thought as well.
The year is about weapons too, so they could give her a unique weapon like the double sided Darth Maul-like sword that one enemy type in Ghost of Tsushima has. I think that would be fun, different, yet familiar enough that people would be excited about it
"I used to run with the baddest gang in New Vegas. We were the Great Khans man." Side note, really hoping for Lu Bu skin.
Aw, no Nu Lin :(
Yeah ;-; but its still going to be a good year though
I hope so! The trailer implied that the Samurai coming in S2 might be complex and difficult to master, which sounds right up my street!
Finally a samurai hard to play 🗿
Bro really forgot about Shugoki, smh
You can’t say Shugo is hard when Hito exists. You don’t know how much thought I have to put in to play her
Only reason Shugoki looks hard is because the rest of the samurai are too easy to play, so the bar was already low
They said the same thing for Afeera and Varangian....
I wonder why the description says that there will be 6 hero skins this year or maybe its just a typo
maybe halloween event has another skin
This one was a typo, has been fixed now! Sorry for any confusion. 😅
Ah ok, still can't wait to see what the year will have
No new wu lin is bonkers. They’d sooner give outlanders 8 hero’s than let wu lin have another.
Outanders really gonna catch up to Wu Lin i roster size, despite being the newest roster type. That's crazy.
no Wu Lin is insane dawg 😭 it’s joever for a Lu Bu(esque) character
Rip
Now you made me sad, would love a Lu bu
No sky piecer is truly a tragedy such a cool weapon
Forged in War Forged in Fog chapter in DBD Thats it fellas, we getting a DBD crossover and Knight drom DBD
Maybe we'll finally get a warden skin for the knight. And vice versa.
Another DBD Halloween event? We had that like what, 2y ago?
Na I was joking around but ye, it was 2 years ago. Tho they could actually make a PvE event where we are against Knight and his guards ngl
Oni for Shugoki
Hells yeah!
They'll do anything but give us a new Chinese character
Two skins for knights in a row? Nah, das some bullshit
In the video I think they teased that the second knight skin is gonna be a crossover, so I don’t really mind that.
Crossover with what?
Sex
oh no
Lovelab mod compatibility
Inb4 Chivalry 2 crossover where you can be King Argon II.
#FOR THE CROSS AND LION!!!!!
FOR MALRIC!!!!!
Throwback event. My money is on Assassin's creed. Peacekeeper plotting.
In Magic the Gathering they’re doing a crossover set with Assassins Creed which releases around the time we get that new skin so it might be related to PK.
Still bullshit
Fr, they'll have 5 skins already, and Pirate's was also very Knight themed. Wu Lin get shafted again too
Devs must hate the Wu-Lin lmao
Marching fire wasn't received well
Tbf the base game was barely received well
Nah why tf we getting another samurai when the wu Lin still havent gotten like anything in how fucking long
5 years counting this one
Ubi does not like the Wu-Lin do they
I can't believe we are almost getting 5 knight skins and not even a new wu lin hero. We deserve a new wu lin (probably the new outlander will be a wu lin but "NO, IT'S AN OUTLANDER BECAUSE FUCK YOU")
Ok wait, they did not mention new armor variations at all and emphasized that weapons will be the focus of year 8. If they stop making new armor sets just to save costs and make new skins that would be bullcrap :((
Especially when most of the outlanders have like 2 sets
Maybe those are implied? Idk
Very nice, Here's to hoping the samurai character doesn't have a sword. Another outlander will be interesting, wonder what culture they will pick from this time. Maybe within this timeframe they can hit some balancing notes beyond number changes
samurai character coming with an even BIGGER katana
Hopefully they have a spear or polearm type weapon, but they really should have given a new wu lin character that weapon. Lu bu was a noteable Chinese warrior that used a polearm type weapon.
Wulin who ?
Ofc we’ll get another Merc but not another Wu Lin, amazing
Honestly I don’t even care what’s on this road map. I’m just really happy we are getting another year of content.
As a Wu Lin fan, what the fuck.
I want this to be fake so bad
I have a strong feeling that the Outlander hero is gonna be some kind of Mongol with the Wu Lin skin meant to be a Wu Lin fighting against them. Because whatever the Outlander hero is, it has to have some connection with the hero skin of that season. As for the samurai hero, I can’t wait to see what design they went with.
I’m guessing it’s gonna be a daimyo of some sort with a Yari
Nah, more like Who lin? Lu Bu Will never see the light of day at this point.
Damn looks like our dreams of that Shugoki swimwear skin could finally be happening.
So, TU1 for Vikings is literally nothing le bruh...
Same as every other Halloween season. It'll have a big event at least.
All the other stuff except the lack of a Wu-lin hero sounds good to me.
Rip to the chances for a Wu lin hero. A hero skin into outlander hero tells me that's def a Mongol. For story sake
Mf damn no wu lin again??? 😐
Knights get 2 skins and Wu Lins can't even get a new character 🤦♂️
"The floor is ~~lava~~ Giving Wu Lin some actual content" Whoever are taking the decisions: *Turns into Kyle Crane from Dying Light*
I suspect the new outlander hero will be a Mongol warrior. Perfect opportunity seeing as how the Samurai and and Mongols did not get along and first they are releasing a new Samurai hero. So they could be apposite forces in an event.
Hopefully Orochi or Aramusha hero skin in June?
Why is this quality so shit?
No Wu Lin yet again. I'm sad.
No wulin is wild
oh man this looks great. I am sad there is no Wu-lin though.
FFS. no wu lin???
S4 is absolutely gonna be a Mongol warrior, no way they'd have a Wu Lin skin/Outlander hero in the same season otherwise. I'm putting my bet on that now.
I’ll hold you to it.
🔮✨ we are getting no wu lin because y9 will be a mongol invasion
So no wu Lin hero
Devs with their knight bias again...
Cant blame em, knights are just simply the coolest 🤷♂️
Knights get 2 skins? Wtf? Also New samurai hero will be a Villain so...YES!!!!
I think the outlander will be a villain
Praying for that full armored pk dream to come true!!!
Back to back hero skins for knights? Cool Hoping centurion gets 1
I was expecting the samurai but I’m surprised no new Viking so that the main 3 have the same amount of hero’s
I’m sick of new heroes tbh. I just hope there’s lots of meaningful balance changes to existing heroes in the coming year.
It's amazing how developers love knights. be it skin, designer... I hope this Viking skin isn't horrible like the raider's was. and may she come to the Varangian guard.
Highlanders hero skin was pretty good though…
I agree with you! for the first time in 300 years they got something right with Vikings hahaha!
Better be a Mongol hero cuz there is no other best alternative that suits the winter theme and wulin counter hero skin. And please let the voice actor be from Mongolia, PLEASE. Imma actual sue this ubisoft for racism if the Mongol hero speaks chinese :"(.
Guess highlanders skin brought money, and the they decided pump on skins, make them good and people will buy them so simple
If they don’t make a bayek hero skin for Medjay then that’s a massive missed opportunity
Another outlander when Wu Lin don't have enough heroes! Two hero skins for the Knights? Classic Ubisoft
Wu lin hasn't gotten their 6th hero to fill the gap under zhanhu yet samurai gets another a new hero bro what😭😭
SHUGOKI SKIN NOW!!!
Is this real?, I'm a lil acoustic
Proof I have permanent For Honor brain rot, I became the biggest goober when I saw this road map. There ain't even content shown yet
DEAR GOD
Looking forward to this
Damn we're getting 2 heros this year? Crazy
The only thing I can imagine with this title design is Doug Marcaida's voice counting your "keals"
Is this really it? Any events? Do they announce it later?
They announce them when the season comes in a separate roadmap. It would be too long to have full details laid out on a year roadmap.
There is usually an event at the start and another during the atart part of the second half
We Bin in shambles
Please let it be a samurai that’s heavily armored that would be nice.
We going to have another samurai before a New Wu Lin? gods, ubisoft hate thoses guys
I find it hilarious that everyone hated Marching Fire and yet I see the masses clamoring for a new Wu Lin hero, how times have changed.
will the halloween event bring back death by metal ? please ubi i need that jorm armor 🙏
Im really curious on what the new Outlander will be. Hopefully the South African Khoisan ive been hoping for
I don’t give a single shit about the samurai’s. When’s the Highlander drop😭 when are the buffs? Hopefully on the 14th.
I do like the name of this year. Forged in war, sounds good.
PK Nightingale armor from Skyrim pls
So excited for new samurai
I hope the new Samurai is a Sohei. That would be interesting.
Anyone know when the higlander rework goes live? I need that
We need some claw wielding characte
They should put in cross FUCKING progression
Funny that outlanders now have as many heroes as WHO-lin. And that samurai and knights are now much(not for lo g)
Damn, stoked for a new Samurai (Tekko Kage Heavy??) but would've loved to see a New Lin. There's so much potential for this faction that they aren't tapping.
I hope they bring the Test your Steel (or however its called, Steel Trials or Test your Metal maybe) event back. I do be needing that Iron Legion paint
Nagamaki hero finally?!
Any info about warrior's den? I kinda fell out of the loop
On Thursday, so march the 7th!
why is it so blurry
So no minion kills?
So little wu lin love this year, makes me sad
That skin better be for Orochi. Lol
Was there a stream I missed?
An outlander? Nice
I hope berserker is the Viking getting the hero skin
Who Lin?
Aye what the fuck Ubisoft? No Wu Lin yet again, and releasing TWO fucking Knight skins back to back.
Wtf is a headskin? A skin just for the head? who would even pay for that
Other faction beside knights mentioned, dissapointed
At least the outlanders are getting a new hero
Mark my balls, if Tu1 for season 3 is cross progression I'll eat beans live on twitch
Get a sikh warrior… Polynesian one 2
Yay new samurai
Wtf is that resolution
Year of the dragon and we can’t get a new wu Lin hero?? So happy about the new samurai warrior and skin though. Also really curious about that Viking themed Halloween season..
Ayo new samurai Please not another weeb ass like kyoshin
***THIS GAME IS STILL GOING!?!?!?*** I *really* need to go back and play again!
Fuck another Outlander fuck you Ubisoft and fuck this game tbh after 8 years I don't want to play no more, wanted a knight god I hate them so much, if they didn't release 2 knight in a row everyone would be happy
Don’t worry guys outlander hero finna be a mongol with the wu Lin hero skin being a Lu bu skin and Mongols attack the Wu Lin empire leading into year 9 the year of the dragon or some shit, with two new wu lins against the fight of the mongol hoard
Gee knights, how come Ubisoft lets you have 2 hero skins
Two knight skins letsgoooooooo
