We've had a chance to get up close and personal with the game, and we're pleased to report that the Heroes series doesn't seem to have lost a step.
If you've been a fan of the series for a while, you might have found the new game to be perplexing, considering that Heroes V is being developed by a completely new team of developers (Russian studio Nival Interactive with production assistance from publisher Ubisoft), and because it's using fully 3D graphics for a series that has traditionally used 2D renders or hand-drawn sprites. The next chapter in the long-running strategy series will attempt to faithfully re-create and enhance its accessible but enthralling gameplay.
Is there anything more heroic than traveling across the land in search of foul villains and fabulous treasures? Maybe, but later this year, would-be heroes will be able to jump back in the saddle and conquer the countryside with Heroes of Might and Magic V.
