For Honor is an odd, sad case. It was super put over by Ubisoft, aggressively marketed ever since E3 2016, and had a ton of hype behind it. It even fared well critically, hailed as a fresh and interesting take on fighting games. Unfortunately, For Honor suffered from severe technical issues at launch. Being such a heavily competitive game, it hasn’t quite recovered. The playerbase fell off dramatically and Ubisoft has been working on bringing people back ever since.
