'For Honor' release date news: Game reveals GameStop-exclusive Collector's Edition

(YouTube/ Ubisoft US)Apollyon is "For Honor's" cunning warlord, throwing all three factions back to battle.

The world of gaming is not what it used to be ages ago. One can usually call himself a bona fide fan of the title simply by owning the game, but now, it goes to new heights, such as by acquiring limited replica of the game's merchandise. This is a bandwagon that "For Honor" is jumping into.

The Ubisoft hack-and-slash title together with PlayStation 4 has launched an exclusive collector's edition that can only be purchased at GameStop. For the price of $219.99, one can already preorder the package that is definitely drool-worthy as it has everything a collector would love to get his hands on.

Dubbed as "For Honor Apollyon Collector's Edition," the said package first and foremost gives players the "For Honor Gold Edition," giving access to the game, the season pass, the deluxe pack and three unique armor designs for the title. Players who get the GameStop-exclusive package will also receive a 14-inch Apollyon statue, an exclusive Apollyon lithograph, an Origins note leaking information about where Blackstone Legion's leader came from, and a premium collector's edition packaging.

This isn't the only exclusive replica for the title. Back in August 2016, a Collector's Case exclusively distributed on the Uplay Shop was announced. It also includes the Gold Edition, yet will have varying freebies such as the Collector's Box, exclusive lithography, the game's soundtrack, and perhaps the most previous of them all, a three-piece set with helmets corresponding to the Samurai, Knight and Viking classes.

"For Honor" is a game that revolves around three previously warring factions, namely the Knights, the Samurais and the Vikings. After a long-waged skirmish, the three groups were all that was left, and agreed to carry a truce and create peace among them.

This utopia was short-lived, as a warlord by the name of Apollyon sought to sow hate and war once more. Being as cunning as she is, she instigates battles in order for the three to draw their weapons again and tricks them into another era of mayhem.

"For Honor" will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC platforms on Feb. 14, 2017.
