For Honor’s derde seizoen kent zijn kick-off op 31 januari en alvorens het zover is komt Ubisoft eerst met een nieuwe patch. Deze patch voegt een nieuwe hero toe, nieuwe map en enkele verse specials.

De patch kent versienummer 2.04 en is best ingrijpend voor de game. Ubisoft heeft namelijk laten weten dat de manier waarop player skill wordt berekend onder de loep is genomen. Zij hebben hierdoor aanpassingen aangebracht en dus zijn de skill ratings voorzien van een reset.
