The second round of test for the Starter Dominion is now live in For Honor. This is a new feature introduced by Ubisoft back in December 2025. The goal Starter Dominion is to make things a bit easier for those who want to return to the game or even want to try it out.

The first round of tests happened in December 4 to December 18. This time, it's running from January 29 to February 12. It's important to remember that Starter Dominion isn't a Testing Grounds or a Game Mode Event. Rather, this is a temporary mode that's been designed to gather feedback and learn for the future.

For those new to this feature, it has the same core rules as Dominion though it has been adjusted for accessibility. In addition, Gear Perks, Feats, Stamina, and Revenge are disabled. This is to allow for a streamlined experience. Players can matchmake with friends with any remaining slots in the team being filled with the strongest bots to keep the action flowing.

For Honor is a third-person hero-based melee fighting game where players can fight alone or with friends. This action fighting title is set within a medieval-inspired fantasy world and rich in both single-player and multiplayer elements. The game is well-known the engaging faction-based system where players can choose to be a Knight, Viking, Samurai, or the Wu Lin Warriors.

For Honor offers a customization option and opens doors to countless combinations of weapons, emblems, and more, all to personalize the Heroes. Meanwhile, a reward system is put in place that enriches the gaming experience while helping to learn the art of combat. Finally, there are the dedicated servers where the multiplayer experience is touted as stable and seamless. It eliminates one of the potential hitches for any online multiplayer game.

With all the different features available, For Honor presents a rather ambitious proposition. It offers a combination of history and fantasy while being steeped in rich combat strategies and customization. It highlights how traditional multiplayer RPG should evolve. Get For Honor on Steam now.
