With For Honor's closed beta finished, it's time for the open beta.

For Honor's open beta runs from Thursday, 9th February to Sunday, 11th February, and it's available to all players on PlayStation 4, PC and Xbox One.

For Honor is Ubisoft's third-person melee combat game that pits Knights, Vikings and Samurai against each other. The focus is on multiplayer, but there is a single-player story mode, too.

There are nine playable heroes in the open beta. When the game launches proper, it'll have 12 playable heroes and five different multiplayer modes.
