"For Honor" developer Ubisoft will now bring the hammer of justice on the people who have been ruining the game for everybody else. Punishment now awaits players who quit ongoing multiplayer matches.
The "Quit Penaly" system update will first hit the PC version of the game as early as this week. This will be followed by the PlayStation 4 version with the Xbox One scheduled for a later date.
According to Express, the update was the result of "For Honor" finally becoming a stable platform. With many glitches and bugs ironed out, Ubisoft can now focus less on the technical aspect and more on player experience.
Particular among these bugs is the infamous "one kill bug" where players can kill their enemies in a single hit using a specific sequence of attacks. According to VG247, the bug was first encountered among Wardens but was later discovered to affect multiple heroes.
As with most bugs, and given how easy it is to pull off, it spread like wildfire and was enough to catch Ubisoft's attention. The bug is presumed to be related to the game's "death from above" mechanic where hits gain bonus damage if done after leaping off a ledge.
The need to stamp out the bug led the developers to address it in a recent patch. However, it also resulted in a minor glitch regarding a change to the player's attack stances.
Community manager Eric Pope explained on Reddit that the need to remove the "one kill bug" required that they release with these glitches in order to prevent any more delays. They also assured players that they will be addressed in later patches.
The latest update also brings new color blind options to "For Honor" as well as fixes a minor issue regarding rewards. For more details, Ubisoft announced that all patch notes will be posted following the update's launch.
