It’s Time to Fight for Glory as For Honor Launches a New Season

jasonnieva March 14, 2026

The newest season of For Honor is finally here. Year 10 invites everyone to the Cycle of War which brings with it the promise of Glory.

The current situation sees the Khatuns rule Heathmoor with the Horkos and Chimera having knelt or fallen. Enraged, Gryphon nearly fades away. Instead, he decides to travel and observe the innocent suffer under cold peace along with the warriors who’ve lost the will to fight. Swayed to spark change, Gryphon now dons a new suit of armor and becomes The Scorching Herald.

Around campfires and in ruined strongholds, the Herald shares epic stories of spirit and purpose. He speaks of Apollyon, Tozen, Gudmundr—of glory earned, tested, and forged in monumental battles. His embellished tales conjure a Glorious Dream Arena, where past and present meet, reminding warriors of what they can still become. With each fire lit, The Scorching Herald inspires a new era of battle.

The Scorching Herald

The Scorching Herald is a fiery griffon-shaped armor forged to reveal the true potential of Gryphon. Through grand tales of legendary battles, he rekindles the taste for glory and sets the cycle of war in motion once more. This Legendary Skin includes a voice over rework and never-seen-before permanent visual effects for a skin that feels powerful, unique, and impossible to miss in-game.

In celebration, For Honor is offering the bundle Tales of Gryphon that include the Hero Gryphon, the Scorching Herald Skin, 14-day champion status and 6 scavengers. Gryphon is available free to play for a full week, beginning March 12, with the Hero Trials.

Hero Fests

As part of the new season, Hero Fests are planned to run for a week. Each one offers a unique execution and an extra XP bonus for each of the Heroes below:

  • Raider (April 2)
  • Sohei (April 9)
  • Centurion (April 16)
