Players will need to be always online if they wish to play Ubisoft's warrior multiplayer game For Honor. The confirmation comes via Neogaf forums in which a user posted confirmation from a Ubisoft executive confirming you'll need an online connection for both story mode and multiplayer...

The news shouldn't come as a complete surprise, as the multiplayer experience seems to be the biggest selling point of the game, but it was never obvious as to whether you could play single player offline or not. Ubisoft initially promised closer to the announcement that the game would have some sort of offline mode, but it appears things have changed. 

For Honor will launch on all major platforms Valentines Day (February 14th).
