Ubisoft announced this morning that For Honor Season 2, titled "Shadow and Might," will begin on May 16 and launch simultaneously on all platforms.

For Honor's second season will pack two additional heroes, plus extra maps and customization items. Ubisoft will also roll in gameplay changes. Maps and gameplay tweaks will be made available for free to all players. However, players who bought the game's season pass will get the two new heroes, Shinobi and Centurion, for free on the 16th. Everyone else will be able to purchase them using in-game steel beginning May 23.

"Additionally, Season Two will introduce a new level of gear rarity: Epic gear, which will increase the maximum gear score along with a balancing overhaul for the entire gear stats system," per a press release sent by Ubisoft. "Following a three week off season, the Faction War will reset on May 16 as the battle for supremacy between all three factions enters its second chapter."

For Honor Season 2's additional maps, Forge and Temple Garden, bring more battlefield selections to the table for multiplayer gameplay.
