The For Honor Sohei brings a sacred Oni (Japanese devil) into the war chaos of the game. This warrior monk, Oni, with his mask and weapons, represents one side, like the evil of Star Wars. That seven-armed is a miracle! Are you ready to pray on the battlefield? Let’s dive into this divine addition that fans will say, “Oh, my Buddha!”
The For Honor Sohei carries a Kama Yari polar gun as its main weapon and was launched today (July 25th). But that’s not all – this versatile fighter also includes a squeeze, shovel, mud, cage, pole tail, and sword packs. Tell them there’s a different weapon everywhere! Players can lock Sohei with 15,000 Steel in two weeks or buy it right away.
For Honor Sohei: New hero the demon child
In For Honor‘s lore, the Sohei is embodied by Oniwaka, nicknamed “Demon Child.” This outcast turned his isolation into motivation, mastering multiple weapons and collecting blades from fallen foes. His journey led him to an unlikely friendship with Master Katashi, an Orochi wielding the last Muramasa Blade.
With the new hero Sohei, there are some new features in the game, so let’s take a look at these:
- Oniwaka’s weapon wonderland: The For Honor Sohei’s arsenal is truly impressive. From the primary Kama Yari to the secondary weapons, each tool serves a unique purpose in combat. This diversity allows players to adapt their strategy on the fly, keeping opponents guessing.
- Free play period: Try before you buy; To celebrate the For Honor Sohei’s arrival, the game offers a free play period. Xbox and PlayStation users can enjoy free access from July 25 to August 1, while PC players get an extended period until August 5. It’s the perfect opportunity to test your skills with the new Sohei without spending a dime.
- There is also a new photo-taking event: Players can showcase their special photos taken using the in-game photo mode in this event and win prizes. Remember, photos must be submitted by August 8th.
