For Honor Launch Trailer Shows Off Brutal Swordfighting

Ubisoft has released the launch trailer for its soon-to-arrive swordfighting game, For Honor. The video sets up what you can expect from the game--a lot of brutal close-quarter combat.

For Honor features knights, vikings, and samurai, and they don't get along very well. They are thrust together in For Honor to fight to the death. Check out the trailer in the embed above.

A second, more in-depth video covers For Honor's progression and customization systems--watch that video here.

For Honor officially launches on February 14 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. You don't have to wait until then to play the game, as an open beta is going on right now on all platforms. The beta contains a good chunk of content, so if you're curious about the game, this is a good way to have a look ahead of launch.
