Ubisoft, the developer of For Honor, recently released an update that fixes tons of bugs and adds some cool new features. A new limited-time event called Battle of the Eclipse is now live. In this event, both teams have to fight to control the forge and will reward players with exclusive rewards.
A new targeting system that lets players cycle through nearby heroes has been added. This system will be turned off by default, however, you can enable it by going to settings. Another cool new feature is the introduction of the bookmark system, where players can keep their best cosmetic items and gears in the item menu.
BUG FIXES

- Shaolin
- Fixed an issue that caused the Shaolin's Left “Elegant Lotus” to costs 9 Stamina instead of 12.

- Jiang Jun
- Jiang Jun's Dou Shi's Choke will no longer unbalance opponents that become Out of Stamina due to the slap's Stamina damage at the end of the move Black Prior.
