So since the Metal trial have started, For Honor has had now 2 audio clips on their social media with a date of August 28 on there. The second one even saying "Better luck next time" I am curious if anyone recognizes them from somewhere or if they are wholly unique. Last time they did this was a teaser for Arakure, and since for honor is going to have a trailer out it leads me to 2 conclusions.

1.We are getting a preview of the next knight hero early, whether it pops up in game for anything I don't know but they may begin to take to the forefront of lore and marketing ahead of it's release. If so then the audio clips cannot be found in game and are original. If they do pop up in game it's likely going to be as a npc only hero first with a incomplete moveset/list of executions.

2. It's a preview of the knight hero skin we're getting next season, in which these sound bites already exist in game and we just need to figure out where they come from. Maybe they're part of the hero's moveset, or maybe it's also sounds of them fighting other heroes as well.

The only thing I know for sure is that the timing is set during the third week of the Metal Trials and where we should be getting Astrea and her warmongers again. So my question is thus, do you guys think this all is leading to some sort of lore thing, like Astrea breaking out with the next season being what she does afterwards, or do you think it's unrelated to her and more to someone/something else?

From what I can tell from research, having gotten "The Warmongers' Ideals" and "The Metal Trials" for today, it doesn't seem to be anything new, the Warmonger one came from Rise of the Warmonger event and we already knew they were having that version be the final week of the trials so some orders may come from that event and not the OG Metal Trials event.

That said, we have had some events that reused old orders and snuck a few new ones in there so don't be afraid to bring up a order if you don't recognize it. I remember the original had some cryptic stuff that the community had to work together to figure out the meaning to so if you see any secret message be sure to cross-reference the old research....because if we get something new hidden in the map that will surprise me.

Edited: So far it seems most orders are for Rise of the Warmonger, with the only exception being the metal trial one so far. Only been a few days but at the same time I cannot help but ponder if those are orders are the default now....

Weird programing or hint of the future reveal? either way I'll keep my vigil.

Probably the largest gang of 'street rats' I've ever seen

Has anyone seen any statue on the maps change? Just one?

If For Honor has taught me anything, this is the norm amongst the player base.

Why does no one think \"I rather not be conquered without a fight.'

So much for their fear tactics

Seems like the Mongols were good at stopping crime in the Myre.

I would of thought the Arakure would of done so without being told...even if they didn't know it was Guljin.

I wonder how the Arakure would be if Gaki died. Would they just continue on without a tear or issue?

There's a certain point where I have to ask why do Samurai seemingly just ignore them for the most part.

To be fair, I imagined many of these vendors were robbed by them too.

JUST DO SOMETHING HOLDEN!

Sorry Gaki, but I cannot help but think of those small Yokai from Nioh with that name

Wouldn't it then be a Odachi hilt if it is the kensei's weapon?

Imagine the other timeline where Saburo wasn't betrayed

Who needs inspiring stories of the past when you can just kill them?-Saburo

Fun Fact: none of the statues from what I've seen are beheaded.

Nothing new here
