We’d previously reported that among a swathe of improvements coming to Ubisoft’s struggling multiplayer brawler For Honor was support for static, dedicated servers, completely replacing the public hosting system that the game currently uses.
 
We now know exactly when this game-changing improvement will be landing, and it’s not far off: You’ll be able to butt heads with the Vikings, Knights & Samurai in a much more stable fashion on February 19th.
 
Here’s the official word from the developers:
 
"The implementation of the dedicated server infrastructure was announced last summer as part of For Honor’s ongoing development schedule. Following a successful Open Test in December that has allowed the team to gather data needed for the live release, the development teams are now ready to deploy the dedicated servers in For Honor. At launch, the dedicated servers will focus on PVP game modes and will fully remove the session migrations as well as the NAT requirements while eliminating most of the resyncing, resulting in a more stable experience and improved matchmaking. The development teams will closely monitor the situation to ensure a smooth transition for PC players before implementing the new infrastructure on consoles."
 

 
They should of had dedicated servers from the start.

    Dedicated servers weren't needed. Ubisoft should have just done a bandwidth test when players joined multiplayer and prevented the potato users from hosting. It's 8 players.

    Probably too late to save the game in my opinion.
    I played the Beta and it just wasn't too great tbh...

    Agreed. It's essentially multiplayer centric and designed to be a freemium game, but charges an entrance fee. It's one of the numerous examples of Ubisoft turning all of their major AAA franchises into garbage "live services", but keeping a premium price tag on it which shouldn't be there. Sadly Ubisoft is breaking the bank by doing this garbage because apparently gamers haven't caught on though. From For Honor to Rainbow Six to now even Ghost Recon, all freemium designed, without the free part.
