Ubisoft have taken it upon themselves to reawaken the legendary Heroes of Might and Magic series. Renowned for being one of the founding fathers of turn-based strategy, HOMM is finally going to receive a long overdue addition to the series.

HOMM V takes everything that made its forebears so successful, and mixes them in with bucketloads of impressive new features such as a new combat system, a 3D graphical overhaul, and a story-based campaign mode. Nival Interactive (of Blitzkrieg fame) have the honour of reviving this illustrious series.

“Ubisoft is pleased to bring back this exceptional series not just for Heroes fans, but to a larger audience that can appreciate the singular combination of a fantasy environment and strategic gameplay,” said Alain Corre, Ubisoft’s Managing Director for Europe, Asia Pacific and South America.

Expect a release in early 2006!
