An open beta for the melee combat action game For Honor is set to take place beginning later this week.

In the game, players can choose to go to battle as one of three legendary warriors of history, knights, vikings, or samurai. You can take part in a collection of different multiplayer modes, including a 4 vs. 4 co-op mode in which you and your friends can take on other players while a mass of AI soldiers clashes around you. There’s also a single player or two-player co-op story mode.

One of the stand outs of E3 2015 was For Honor, a melee combat game that lets you play as one of three legendary warriors, a knight, a viking, or a samurai. Multiplayer gameplay was the focus of last year’s presentation.

For E3 2016 this week the game was previewed once again, this time focusing on its story campaign. To showcase that, a new trailer and gameplay demo were on display. You can check out both of them below.

When it comes to video games, I much prefer those with swords than those with guns. So when Ubisoft announced a new game this week at E3 2015 that’s all about melee combat, I and many others were quite excited.

The game is called For Honor, and it brings together three of history’s greatest warriors: Samurai, Knights, and Vikings. In it, you and some friends will take on another team of players in a brutal fight. But instead of having just a few players on each side, there’s also a small army of AI soldiers on each side clashing swords around you to really make it feel like a battle.
