This was on the Ubisoft store and then later taken down.

This basically is the Rainbow Six model where the new content is free, but you can get them early/without in-game credits, along with a variety of vanity stuff, one week early access, that kind of thing.

To note, the other four characters pictured are just existing characters standing in as placeholders, since they're presumably not ready to unveil the other four characters for the first season pass.

So all maps and heroes free (via grind?) Good. If DLC needs to be a thing this is the way to do it. Devs and Pubs need to stop segregating the community.

RecRoulette · Jan 11, 2017

Fuck, this game has loot boxes? I'm still buying this on day one, but man.

The rest of it seems fine though, being allowed to get all gameplay content for free is the best way to go

I read that as Rainbow Six was gonna be in the game

"Sunbeam" emote, huh?

I wonder which franchises audience they would really like a slice of.

I agreed. I believe it's same for Splatoon and BattleBorn.

If the dlc works like R6 then I have no qualms about it since Siege did it quite well.

Expect more and more games to have them going forward - they seem to be a much more reliable source of post-launch money for devs/pubs than traditional season passes.

Oh look they made their own DLC chart so the internet doesn't have to.

Look like I might pick up Gold version if I could.

Steiner · Jan 11, 2017

Great news. Ubisoft leading the charge on the "game as a service" front, and I think it's doing a bang-up job.

They also, most importantly, help retain engagement, since people like getting loot crates, whereas season pass barriers can cause them to leave.

Yeah, it's just extra irritating when they're trying to sell you a season pass at the same time, like in this case.

Simo · Jan 11, 2017

Definitely seems to follow all of R6's model when you look at it more. The Champion Status buff is the same as R6's boosts where you get bonus xp and in game currency and the more players on your team with the status, the more xp and currency you get.

Anno · Jan 11, 2017

Seems fair as these things go. R6 people generally seem happy from my interactions with them, though I guess in the end it comes down to if the game itself is as good.

That deluxe pack looks well worth it! Just kidding.

I thought someone at Ubisoft said that the company was moving away from SPs?

They're moving away from core game content gated behind season passes.

This is an early access bundle with a bunch of vanity stuff and related things.

Glass Rebel · Jan 11, 2017

How long until LEVEL UP YOUR GAME WITH THE RISING SUN PACK FOR THE SAMURAI FACTION

DoubleTake · Jan 11, 2017

People never seemed to complain about the way Siege handled things so I take it this is a good thing.

Plumpbiscuit · Jan 11, 2017

No wonder this game is always online just look at those "rewards", absolutely no SP benefits.

Reizo Ryuu · Jan 11, 2017

Looking good, man I'm so excited for this game.

Auctopus · Jan 11, 2017

Pretty sure Siege doesn't have loot boxes. I'm assuming that's because this game has far more customisation options than Siege.

DanteRavenkin · Jan 11, 2017

I think I might get the gold edition just so I can have New warriors to use sooner rather than later. I just can't decide which version, PC or PS4? Which will likely have the bigger player base?

bananafactory · Jan 11, 2017

Awesome, Siege season pass and DLC was handled great.

Correct.

Yeah, in the alpha you could could customize every part of your warrior including their weapon from the blade, hilt and handle. Then there's the emotes, executions, emblems, war paint etc you could acquire.

Broadbandito · Jan 11, 2017

game just became day 1. Most likely going gold edition now.

Vital Tundra · Jan 11, 2017

Not sure how I feel about a season pass and loot boxes. Siege was great in its model.

Primethius · Jan 11, 2017

Great news. I love the Siege model.

CommandThrower · Jan 11, 2017

I was going to get this game anyway, but now I'm really tempted to spring on that Gold Edition. I want every playable class.

GrandHarrier · Jan 11, 2017

Does this mean the game is also doing the Siege thing where you buy the game but don't even have the basic characters unlocked from the start?

Trogdor1123 · Jan 11, 2017

Loot boxes? Yep, I'm out.

Filthy Casual · Jan 11, 2017

That standard edition looking really appealing there, it's like when you download the free version of some software on your PC and you're expressly made aware that you're getting the shittiest version.

In for honor, all the characters are playable from the start, but you must spend steel, in game currency, to unlock them to customize their appearance and skills.

Deleted member 471617 · Jan 11, 2017

Am I correct when I say that it appears that there will be no single player add on content? If so, great for me.

ironcreed · Jan 11, 2017

So I can actually get this stuff by playing? Never played Siege.

Nirolak · Jan 11, 2017

The characters and crates, yes. The emblems, probably not, though they're just vanity items.

Well yeah, you get one with the faction you choose, then with more scraps you can either upgrade your first guy or unlock and try the others

Very nice. The characters are the main thing I want.

Been playing Siege since the free weekend on Xb1. Bought the standard edition and have unlocked every playable character including the newest two that just recently released a few months ago. Plus ive been able to buy several vanity items with ingame currency earned from just playing. If For Honors is anything like Siege, the majority of content should be unlockable by just playing the game.
