Giving the fans what they want in Might & Magic: Heroes 7
In the newly unveiled Might & Magic: Heroes 7, fans can vote on two of the six factions to be included. In other words, they get to have a direct say on what is certainly an important component of a turn-based strategy game. As creative director Erwan Le Breton told me at Gamescom, Ubisoft and developer Limbic Entertainment are concentrating on giving the fans, many of them longstanding, a quality entry in this venerable series. According to Le Breton, fans on the series' VIP forum were unanimous about particular key changes they wanted from Heroes 6, such as the separation of spells from other skills, the revamping of the skill system, and the move from five factions to six. Le Breton said his studio's goal with Heroes 7 was twofold: make sure the higher-ups internally at Ubisoft are happy with the game, and make sure the fans are happy, too.
Might & Magic Heroes 7 gathering troops for 2015 siege
Ubisoft announced Might and Magic Heroes 7 this morning, the latest installment in its long-running turn-based strategy series. Details are limited beyond a press release and a new trailer, but Might and Magic X: Legacy studio Limbic Entertainment is confirmed as the developer, as is a 2015 release window for Windows PC "exclusively." While it's the seventh entry in the series, Heroes 7 is going with a six nation (or faction) army; six different fantasy factions are fighting for power in a civil war that left a broken empire without a ruler, and everyone else fighting to pick up the pieces. On that note, Ubisoft is inviting fans to vote on two of the six factions that'll appear of in the final game, which they can do by joining the online Shadow Council. While the Shadow Council doesn't congregate secretly to plot world domination, Ubisoft says fans can use it to chat and pass comment to devs and "infuence the content of the game." After that, world domination. Check out the debut trailer below the break.
