For Honor Patch 1.08 Adds Quit Penalties, Will Go Live “At Later Date”

Ubisoft’s For Honor will have received patch 1.08 today on PC with the PS4 and Xbox One receiving it next week. The update went live at 5 AM PT/8 AM ET/1 PM BST/2 PM CEST and along with balance changes, it also adds some interesting new features.

These are basically penalties for those who quit during matches. Before leaving the match, players will receive a warning. Quitting will award you with a 10 minute matchmaking penalty and if you’re in a group, this will apply to everyone. Though the new quitting penalties are included with the patch, they’ll actually commence working at a “later date”.

Otherwise the patch contains balance changes for heroes like Centurion, Shinobi and Kensei with some bug fixes for maps. Progression changes have also been made, rewarding players completing matches against AI opponents. Centurion and Shinobi are now also considered part of the Hybrid and Assassin classes respectively, thus allowing for completing orders for these classes.
