Ubisoft announces the For Honor PC Starter Edition is now available, offering a way to get started in the melee combat game at a reduced price. Similar to the Rainbow Six Siege Starter Edition, this includes the full game, but limits hero access with an unlocking system. This is available on Steam and Uplay. Here are the details:

Following the recent release of the fifth season of For Honor, Age of Wolves, which included the launch of new dedicated PC & consoles servers, Ubisoft announced the For Honor® Starter Edition, available today for Windows PC only on Steam and Uplay. This new edition is a great way for curious newcomers to test their skills with a select roster of heroes. The Starter Edition will include:

• Three fully unlocked Vanguard Heroes: The Warden, Raider, and Kensei will be fully unlocked (playable and customisable) at the start of the game.
• Three Launch Heroes from Players’ Selected Faction: Three additional playable heroes will be granted to players based on the faction they choose when first launching the Starter Edition (Knight, Viking, Samurai); Players can progress and loot with these heroes, however customisation options become available once the Heroes are “recruited” for 8000 Steel* each.
• Twelve Remaining Heroes: Players will also be able to fully unlock the six heroes from launch for gameplay and customisation for 8000 steel* each. The six heroes released in post launch seasons can be fully unlocked for gameplay and customisation for 15000 Steel* each.

The Starter Edition is compatible with the season pass and existing add-on content. Those looking to gain the same access to playable heroes as the Standard Edition can do so with the All Heroes Bundle available for 50,000 Steel.
