Heroes of Might and Magic
Control
Beneath the shimmering veil of twilight, the ancient city of Elyria stirs—a labyrinth of crumbling spires and shadowed alleyways where forgotten gods whisper through cracked stone. You navigate its secrets with a flick of your wrist, the cursor gliding like a spectral guide over moss-clad ruins and flickering torches. Every click unravels echoes of the past: a merchant’s ledger etched in cipher, a rusted locket humming with unresolved grief, a mural depicting celestial wars that scorched the sky to ash. Time here bends, brittle and deceptive; a door sealed at dawn might yawn open by moonlight, revealing stairwells that descend into the earth’s molten heart. Trust nothing, not even the map’s frayed edges—it lies as sweetly as the thief-king who sold it to you. Your tools are simple: curiosity, a steady hand, and the instinct to know when to pry a truth loose… or let it fester.

Might & Magic Heroes, initially known as Heroes of Might and Magic, is a long-running video game series first conceptualized by Jon Van Caneghem under New World Computing. Rooted in the broader Might and Magic universe, the franchise transitioned between corporate hands following New World Computing’s acquisition by 3DO and later Ubisoft after 3DO’s dissolution. Its core gameplay revolves around turn-based strategic battles set in fantastical worlds, where players command legions of legendary creatures. Debuting in 1995, the series saw its seventh mainline entry, Might & Magic Heroes VII, launch in September 2015. Post-Heroes of Might and Magic IV, New World Computing ceased operations, leaving Ubisoft as the permanent rights holder. Subsequent titles shifted development studios: Nival Interactive spearheaded Heroes of Might and Magic V, Black Hole Entertainment produced Might & Magic Heroes VI (with Limbic Entertainment handling updates, expansions, and VII), while Virtuos led the standalone Shades of Darkness expansion for the sixth installment.
