For Honor’s Bloodletting Event Starts Oct. 22 With Boss Fights and Blood Seal Buffs
The limited-time event runs through Nov. 12 and brings reactive Legendary Hero Skins for Warmonger and Virtuosa.
For Honor’s The Bloodletting event will begin Oct. 22 with a new three-zone PvP mode, boss encounters, and Blood Seal buffs. The event runs through Nov. 12, according to Ubisoft’s Oct. 15 Warrior’s Den recap.
A new mode puts Blood Seals at the center
The mode removes the minion lane and focuses on controlling three zones. Teams earn points to push their opponents into Last Stand, where a boss appears: either the Keeper of Chains or the Nightstalker. The boss must be defeated before the opposing team can enter Breaking.
Each defeated opponent grants a Blood Seal. Players can spend seals at Blood Altars around the map to gain bleed, life-steal, or Shield buffs. Matches take place on a gothic reimagining of Secluded Keep, built with event-specific cinematics and environmental details.
Two reactive skins lead the event rewards
The Nightstalker for Warmonger and Liana the Pale for Virtuosa arrive on Oct. 22. Inspired by Romanian history and folklore surrounding Vlad Țepeș, the skins feature glowing eyes, dragon-scale-inspired armor, crimson gemstones, new Romanian voice lines, and capes that show a soul for each kill, up to six.
The Crimson Dragon Bundle pairs The Nightstalker with the Bequeath Unto Me Emote, Blood Magic Mythic Outfit, and Winged Death Growl Execution. Dragon’s Daughter includes Liana the Pale, the same emote, the Crimson Blood Eternal Mythic Outfit, and the Don’t Cross Me! Execution. The Ultimate Blood Curse Bundle combines both skins, both Mythic Outfits and executions, the emote, and the Skin of a Killer Effect.
A free Event Pass will offer the Luminous Lantern Battle Outfit, The Keeper’s Lantern Effect, and Spectral Lantern Ornament for all heroes. Players can earn its rewards by playing the mode and completing daily Orders. New event weapons will also be available as loot, while the event adds a leaderboard and Hero Trials for Warmonger and Virtuosa from Oct. 22 through Oct. 29. A short story about the characters will be available on the For Honor website beginning Oct. 22.
For Honor’s next dates reach into 2027
Ranked Dominion Season 0 is halfway through, with players already reaching Grand Master. Ubisoft said it is monitoring player feedback and has plans to improve Ranked. The Autumn Duels tournament also concluded with 800 signups. Caelid, VolcanicPlasma, and Blitss joined winner Bingalations among the top four.
Ubisoft also announced a 10th anniversary event in Montréal on Feb. 13, 2027, with a live-audience Warrior’s Den. An anniversary showcase on Nov. 12 will reveal more about the celebration. Upcoming Hero Fests are scheduled for Jiang Jun on Nov. 19, Aramusha on Nov. 26, and Black Prior on Dec. 3.
Some Orders may not grant rewards immediately during Y10S3 TU2. Ubisoft’s workaround is to close and reopen the World Map, which should then grant the reward. The team is addressing the issue, and balancing details will accompany the patch notes on Oct. 22.
