Heroes of Might and Magic, one of PC gaming's most beloved and respected franchises is getting outfitted for the modern era. We sat down with Ubisoft's vice president of digital publishing, Chris Early, to talk about Might and Magic: Heroes Kingdoms, the most ambitious browser-based MMO we've ever seen and successor to gaming's greatest turn-based strategy title.
Might and Magic: Heroes Kingdoms eschews the single-player, turn-based strategy of the past games for a game world that contains thousands of players and progresses in real-time. But the crucial elements that make the franchise legendary are still in place: recruiting heroes and mythical armies, clearing out land around your city, and eventually defeating rival heroes. Read on to see Chris Early discuss combat, real-time gameplay and conquering the world.
