We’d previously reported that amongst a swathe of enhancements coming to Ubisoft’s struggling multiplayer brawler For Honor was help for static, devoted servers, fully changing the general public internet hosting system that the sport presently makes use of.
We now know precisely when this game-changing enchancment shall be touchdown, and it’s not far off: You’ll be capable to butt heads with the Vikings, Knights & Samurai in a way more secure vogue on February 19th.
Here’s the official phrase from the builders:
The implementation of the devoted server infrastructure was introduced final summer season as a part of For Honor’s ongoing growth schedule. Following a profitable Open Test in December that has allowed the group to assemble knowledge wanted for the dwell launch, the event groups are actually able to deploy the devoted servers in For Honor. At launch, the devoted servers will concentrate on PVP sport modes and can totally take away the session migrations in addition to the NAT necessities whereas eliminating many of the resyncing, leading to a extra secure expertise and improved matchmaking. The growth groups will carefully monitor the state of affairs to make sure a easy transition for PC gamers earlier than implementing the brand new infrastructure on consoles.
This’ll be rolling out alongside the remainder of the Age Of Wolves seasonal content material, together with improved single-player tutorial content material, some main overhauls for under-played lessons and a configurable Vs AI area mode, extra of which you’ll see within the trailer-cum-infoblurb beneath, or examine it on the official Age Of Wolves site here.
Better late than by no means, eh? Still, this positively would have been a useful characteristic to have early within the lifetime of the sport. While For Honor nonetheless maintains a decently lively multiplayer scene, and the variety of gamers hasn’t dropped considerably since August final yr, it appears unlikely that it would ever make even half the restoration that Rainbow Six Siege did after its wonky launch.
