Ubisoft confirms the maintenance schedule for the upcoming For Honor update, which is set to be deployed for all supported platforms on June 16.

The update in question marks the release of Year 6 Season 2: Curse of The Scarab, which includes a new Battle Pass, Seasonal Event, Hero Skin, and a new campaign. However, it does mean that servers will be taken offline for a total of one hour and thirty minutes before the new season begins.

For Honor servers will be offline at 9AM ET prior to the launch of update 2.36.0. Players will then be prompted to download a new patch before they can play again, with the download sizes being between 1.7GB and 2.2GB, depending on your platform.

If you're eager to find out the exact details of everything included in the June 16 For Honor update, check out the official patch notes below.
