Ubisoft has just confirmed that For Honor’s single-player campaign will require a consistent internet connection in order to be enjoyed. In other words, For Honor will be an always online title, and there won’t be an offline mode.
As Ubisoft’s community representative confirmed when asked about it:
“We can confirm that For Honor is an always online experience. Some elements of progression, which is hosted online, are shared across story and multiplayer modes. Players will need to be connected to the Internet at all times to play For Honor.”
For Honor’s story campaign will support two-player co-op, and promises to be an immersive tale of larger-than-life warriors plunged into one of the bloodiest wars between Knights, Vikings, and Samurai in recent history.
For Honor releases on February 14th!
Thanks NeoGAF

Funny that they still have various ads talking about “offline story campaign” all over the web 😀
I guess more money to put elsewhere… cant really support just another “always online” singleplayer try from Ubisoft – last time it was horrendous (also everytime other company tried it aswell)
Here it is on the steam store page , listed as a feature. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4d7970f75f5b29d3b0c89c3f7af6c4cb10a900b0637989096e409575773cdd94.png
Straight up false advertising then.
offline! ha, and memorable!? lol
and it took them whole 12 hours to takedown all these ads and storelage mentions of offline campaign and bots 😀 pathetic Vivendisoft
So is the campaign gameplay like The Division? I wonder. If yes, then i just lost my interest quite a bit. I was expecting a proper single-player experience without interference from other players.

They do it to themselves.
LMAO fishslap
the gif meister is back, lol.
What can I say, it’s a gif(t).
*sigh*
Ahh Ubisoft. Still not learning fast enough. Maybe a few more bought shares from Vivideni will whip you back into shape.
Quadrillion meh
Ive yet to see anything on the campaign that shows me that it has a legit story. R6 siege has solo play also but i wouldnt consider that a campaign.
translation: “cba to pay denuvo gonna slap online only”
Except it’ll have both now.
No surprise there.
Couldnt care to me the game is stupid, hey lets bring 3 unrelated civilizations to fight each other… that needs a story campaign? Still hands off wild lands they said that will have offline, so GET YOUR FILTHY CORPORATE HANDS OFF IT UBISOFT.
The premise IS stupid. The only thing that was remotely entertaining about it were the live-action trailers. The gameplay shown was your run-off-the-mill console “experience” with the button mashing and not much beyond that.
when they first unveil this game isn’t it was supposed to be multi player only?
Mount Blade Bannerlord > > > > For Shame
They just wont learn. So i’ll just not buy.
>will require an internet connection in order to be enjoyed
Translation: “We bought the sh*ttiest servers for all you pre-ordering cattle.”
Always online DRM.
I just won’t buy Ubisoft games anymore. I’ll watch the AC movie though, no always online DRM for that.
First I ignored the game because it was clearly a multiplayer game. Then, I put it on my potential to buy list when they announced it’ll have an offline story mode. Now, I have to scratch it off the list due to the always-online DRM.
Just when I thought I was going to give Ubisoft another chance.
Keep it
I wonder; were they lying at the start, or did they just decide to change their minds half-way through & re-tool it “because this bullsh*t worked so well for Diablo 3”?
>.>
i would say some suit changed it after the success of R6 Siege … and they until Tuesday forgot to delete all offline emntions from stores and adds
Either way, it’s curious, because now For Honor is just piggybacking on U-Be-Soft’s historic “always online games” mania (ex. The Crew, etc.) whereas before, it seemed to be an actual change of direction for them.
