A Look At For Honor’s Maps: The Vikings

With the imminent release of Ubisoft’s For Honor on the horizon, the hype for the fighting game is sky-high. While the game features a campaign, the majority of the game’s draw lies in its player vs player combat, with gamers choosing between three different factions with which to defeat their enemies. At GeekReply, we want to make sure our readers are informed and ready to hit the ground running when the game launches, so we’ve launched a series of pages taking a look at the beautiful combat environments available in For Honor. In this article we take a look at the faction maps for the Vikings.

The Vikings

River Forts

With the Vikings being a sea-faring nation, the forts situated on the river protect their settlements from ship-based invasion. The fort’s powerful catapults sink ships before they pose a threat. The fort is a typical Viking settlement, with all of the area’s style reflecting the aesthetic of the proud warrior people. Many of the forts were transformed from a small sea\side village into a fully-fledged siege engine battery.

Canyon

Following the Cataclysm, the world’s environment is dotted with these massive divots in the landscape. Warrior peoples build bridges to cross the gaps, and the canyons seem to be more prevalent in Viking land. The Vikings have taken advantage of the Canyon environment, going so far as to build on and inhabit them rather than just build paths across.
