For Honor launched in 2017. Nine years later, Ubisoft is asking $54.99 for a cosmetic skin pack.

The Assassin’s Creed Ultimate Hero Skin Bundle dropped April 23 on Steam and PlayStation Store, mashing Ubisoft’s biggest franchise into its aging melee fighter. The bundle includes four hero skins — Naoe, Yasuke, Eivor, and Ezio — mapped onto For Honor characters, plus themed executions and an exclusive outfit. Individual skins run $14.99 each. A two-skin Assassin’s Creed Shadows bundle costs $29.99.

Fifty-five dollars is the price of a full indie release. It is also more than For Honor itself costs right now: all editions are 85% off during Steam’s Medieval Fest, running through April 27. The math is blunt — the cosmetics cost significantly more than the game you’d use them in.

Zero players have reviewed the bundle on Steam as of publication. Zero are listed as concurrent users of the DLC page. That’s not necessarily a measure of sales — Steam DLC pages don’t always reflect engagement the way game pages do — but it’s a quiet listing for a bundle featured in For Honor Year 10 Season 1’s mid-season update alongside a throwback event, new Hero Fests, and a Steam sale.

The bundle does carry some production value. Ubisoft says the original Japanese voice actors from Assassin’s Creed Shadows reprised their roles for the Naoe and Yasuke skins, and Eivor’s dialogue was recorded entirely in Icelandic.

Still, the pricing fits a familiar pattern for aging live-service titles: the base game gets discounted into impulse-buy territory while premium cosmetics hold the line on revenue. For Honor isn’t alone in this — it’s just particularly transparent about it this week.

Ubisoft has not commented publicly on the bundle’s pricing.
