Ubisoft: For Honor has biggest closed alpha test in company history

Gamers spent plenty of time testing the digital combat prowess of vikings, knights, and samurai.

Ubisoft has released some numbers for the recently ended closed alpha of For Honor, the upcoming melee combat-focused game coming out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on February 14. The publisher noted in a press release sent to GamesBeat that this was the largest closed alpha in its history. Ubisoft said that the hundreds of thousands of players that it invited to the testing spent an average of 4 hours and 38 minutes with the game, although it did not disclose specific numbers. By comparison, Ubisoft’s largest beta, the one for The Division, had 6.4 million players.
