For Honor: Quick guide to join the closed beta

Developer Ubisoft Montreal's upcoming video game, For Honor, has announced that it will be releasing closed beta in January 2017.

Here is a quick guide to join the closed beta:

Register: Players will have to sign up for War of the Factions. So, head to the game's website and click on "Sign up now." Next, add the necessary details on the Ubisoft page. Doing this might give players a chance to participate in the closed beta.

Play: Players, who get selected, will have to pledge themselves to one of the three factions (Vikings, Knights and Samurai) present in the game.

Win: Beta players are eligible for exclusive rewards. Players will be awarded the Emblems of Old. Other loot items will be revealed at a later stage.

The Emblems of Old are a representation of the "bravery and resilience" in the game's heroes. Players can put it on their armours and weapons.

Once the beta is live, players will have to take to the battlefield and build up their character and represent their faction.

Each player's progress can be tracked via global leaderboards. Players need to know that only one of the three groups will be able to win the ultimate glory.

Vikings use axes and strength, knights use swords, shields and armour and Samurai uses kanabo sword. Each faction has its own weapons, gear and fighting styles.

For Honor releases on February 14, 2017, for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
