The For Honor Title Update 2 patch notes add Arakure, the first Tonfa-wielding Hero — a fast Samurai Assassin built around target-swapping pressure — alongside the return of the Metal Trials event and the Starter Dominion limited-time mode. Track the For Honor season countdown to the Year 10 Season 2 close.
TL;DR — 1 new Hero (Arakure), 1 returning event (Metal Trials), 1 new limited-time mode (Starter Dominion). Meta impact: Arakure introduces the tonfa weapon type and a Strike Meter mechanic rewarding sustained offense — too new for meta rankings yet.
