For Honor gets Starter Edition just like Ubisoft’s Rainbow Six: Siege

Ubisoft’s online melee fighter For Honor has had continual support and updates since its debut last year, and now the publisher wants to lower the barrier-to-entry for people with a $15 Starter Edition. This is a stripped-down version of For Honor that will enable players to compete alongside their friends, but they won’t have full access to all of the content at the start.

The Starter Edition is something that Ubisoft has done with its Tom Clancy tactical shooter Rainbow Six: Siege, and the company is attempting to re-create that successful model here. In Siege, the Starter Edition enables you to play as a non-named Recruit until you have enough in-game currency (which you earn at a slower rate) to purchase some of the other heroes. For Honor: Starter Edition will feature a similar system where you start with three of its heroes, with the option to unlock more over time using the in-game currency.
