In an effort to fix some of the rampant glitch abuse, as well as bring a much needed breath of fresh air into For Honor, Ubisoft has just now released Season 3. It has brought with it two new characters (Highlander and Gladiator), two new maps, a new Legendary tier of gear, new territories on the world map, a whole bunch of balance changes and gameplay tweaks, and the list goes on for quite a while.

If you're just interested in the short version, and more importantly why Ubisoft is even making these types of changes, you'll find what you seek in the recently posted preview video right below. Have a look:

As far as the actual balance changes are concerned, Ubisoft is trying to promote more aggressive playstyles, though without the constant spam of 1-2 extremely powerful abilities. Its also worth noting that the unlocking glitch has pretty much been patched out, so unblockable strikes will thankfully be a thing of the past. How exactly this will affect high level play, I have no idea, but after watching the recent tournament its quite obvious that this is a change that simply needed to happen. If you're interested in all of the details, and you have a cup of coffee to keep you going, you'll find the full patch notes over at the official website. Have fun with the new characters!
