The announcement came earlier this week despite previous statements issued by Ubisoft describing offline co-op as an “absolutely core feature” that is “super-needed” For honor success, according to Eurogamer.
Announced at E3 2015. For honor is a third-person combat game where players take control of knights, samurai, and vikings through a series of brutal skirmishes. In addition to the single player campaign, For honor includes a collection of multiplayer modes, some of which pit teams of four players against each other in cooperative battles for supremacy.
Although Ubisoft previously assured players that the finished product would offer local multiplayer options, For honorThe developers are suddenly downplaying the importance of offline co-op as the game approaches its February cross-platform launch. This week’s reveal comes after many fans have already locked in their pre-orders.
“The For honor the team made the difficult decision to end the collaboration with split-screen in order to provide the best experience at launch,” Ubisoft said in a statement sent to Eurogamer this week. “It’s a feature we liked and wanted to deliver, but we found we couldn’t do it without affecting the quality of other elements that are more important to For honor experience. For honor fans who want to play with friends will still have the option to play online co-op in the campaign and in all multiplayer modes.”
Despite being a popular feature throughout the previous generation of consoles, many publishers now see split-screen co-op as a problem as development costs continue to rise. Microsoft ignited a firestorm of fan controversy after 2015 Halo 5: Guardians launched as the first entry in the series to lack a split-screen campaign mode and the inexplicable absence of offline co-op in recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan caused many fans to express their disappointment via Amazon, lowering the game’s overall customer rating as a direct result.
Ubisoft’s statement specifically mentions that split-screen co-op won’t be available “at launch,” suggesting that strong fan response could prompt the addition of offline options later.
For honor was launched on February 14, 2017 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC platforms.
