The short version
- Related: the Complete Edition of Heroes of Might and Magic 3 is now available on Steam for the first time.
- Heroes of Might & Magic 3 Remake was announced during Gamescom Opening Night Live yesterday .
- The game has been rebuilt in Ubisoft's Snowdrop engine and the results are plain to see: a 3D world instead of a 2D one, filled with detail, shifting seasons and weather effects, and all-new animations.
What happened
There are also "a range" of quality of life improvements and new features coming, Ubisoft said in a press release . Importantly, this is as much about preserving the original experience as updating it.
Why it matters
To that end, improved editor tools and a new in-game user-generated content hub are being developed, and existing maps and campaigns created by players already are apparently compatible with this version of the game.
