NEWS | Dotemu and Ubisoft Bring Back Classic Puzzle RPG with Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes - Definitive Edition
DOTEMU and Ubisoft announced the launch of the Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes - Definitive Edition this summer. This puzzle RPG classic is returning to PC, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch.
The game was first launched in 2009 and received rave reviews and high scores from global critics. The game was developed by Capybara Games, and the developers at Dotemu have not altered the established scope and vision of the game, which masterfully blends puzzle mechanics and turn-based strategy elements together for head-to-head matches against AI or opponents in online and offline multiplayer.
The Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes - Definitive Edition will bring the must-have role-playing puzzle adventure to PC via Steam and Ubisoft stores and PlayStation 4, as well as Nintendo Switch for the first time.
The developers have given the original beloved anime-inspired art style a refresh with updated character arts and portraits. Many quality-of-life improvements have been skillfully and strategically added to the fan-favourite title, including a complete rebalancing of the multiplayer mode. The new version is set to ship this summer and will also include the I Am the Boss DLC, which allows players to play as the four powerful bosses and a newly created exclusive multiplayer boss in Quick Battle, Online, and Offline Multiplayer modes.
Cyrille Imbert, CEO and executive producer of Dotemu, said, “This is a dream come true for me. Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes was one of my favorite games from the era it was originally released in. It’s a game design gem. I spent so many nights on my Xbox 360 with my friends trying to set up the best, undefeatable strategy, playing for just “one more duel” until the sun rose. So to be able to work on an updated version of this modern classic and bring it to entirely new audiences is amazing; we can’t wait to introduce this game to a new generation of fans.”
“Might & Magic Clash of Heroes is one of the best and most unique games in the Might & Magic franchise, and as such one of the most deserving of receiving the “Definitive Edition” treatment. From the beginning, it was obvious that Dotemu were true fans of the original and the best possible team to deliver this classic on current-gen platforms with care and respect. We’re very happy with the result and can’t wait to see the game hitting current-gen consoles and PC," said Eric Damian-Vernet, brand director of Might & Magic, Ubisoft.
In Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes, players will take on the roles of five heroes scattered across five different regions of Ashan. Each must travel their own dangerous paths to grow in strength, unravel a demonic plot, and ultimately save the world from Demonic forces. The game has local and online multiplayer options and players can choose between one of 15 playable characters across five different factions. Players will master unique abilities and learn dynamic combat mechanics as they experience an epic adventure filled with vibrant detail. — Geeks Republika
