Might & Magic Heroes VI

Overview

Might & Magic Heroes VI kicks off 400 years before Heroes of Might & Magic V and revolves around a story in which an Archangel comes back to life right before a demonic invasion. As a member of the Griffin Dukes, players will be tasked with putting a stop to his warring.

Individual outcomes may differ: the game will have some sort of branching plot structure. It will also have an in-game system that allows players to post "content" straight to the Might & Magic Heroes VI community.

Ubisoft is dubbing Heroes VI as a "remastering" of the franchise. Whilst retaining the traditional elements of a Heroes of Might and Magic game such as the turn-based combat/movement as well as recruiting and leveling troops a new reputation system has been added into the mix as well as the power to convert cities.

Black Hole Entertainment is attempting to listen to what the fans say and work closely with them.
