Yesterday, during Gamescom's Opening Night Live, Ubisoft announced Heroes of Might and Magic III Remake, a modern reimagining of the critically acclaimed turn-based strategy classic. Developed by Ubisoft China studios in Chengdu and Shanghai, the game will launch in 2027 on Ubisoft+, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation and PC through Ubisoft Connect, Steam, and the Epic Games Store.

Heroes of Might and Magic III Remake offers endless hours of epic adventure, elevating the original's timeless gameplay to modern standards and delivering its iconic blend of turn-based strategy, RPG hero progression, and tactical grid combat. Building on that foundation, the remake introduces quality-of-life improvements and new features, such as enhanced planning and decision-making tools, making for a more intuitive experience while staying faithful to the original.

Rebuilt from the ground up in Ubisoft's Snowdrop engine, the remake trades the original's fixed 2D isometric perspective for a highly detailed 3D world and free camera control. Paired with 4K visuals, dynamic lighting, real-time weather, and shifting seasons, this visual overhaul breathes new life into Erathia's classic biomes and battlefields. Players will join Queen Catherine on her crusade to restore order to her kingdom.

Packed with the entire content of the original game and its two expansions: Armageddon's Blade and The Shadow of Death, the remake includes all nine iconic factions and original campaigns. Playable solo or with up to eight players in a revamped online mode, improved matchmaking and a simultaneous turn system, the game also sees the return of the favorite Hot Seat mode. "Heroes of Might and Magic III Remake is our way of highlighting the rich legacy of the 1999 original," said Xavier Poix, Senior Vice President, Ubisoft.
