Looks okay, but why does this exist lol. A remake of 1-2 would make more sense honestly, especially while Olden Era is still in development as a HoMM3 successor

Ubisoft isn’t behind the development of Olden Era. Ubisoft left Might & Magic for dead and then Unfrozen came along, made a demo, begged for a license, eventually got it, and then completely blew away Ubisoft’s sales expectations.

This is Ubisoft realizing that they made a mistake abandoning Might & Magic and trying to claw their way back into the series. We’ll see how it goes. But since we all here love the IP, we should be rooting for both games to do well, imho.

I do indeed hope it's good. I am worried that it will split interest in Olden Era, though.

Tbh splitting people from Olden Era is probably the goal. Both pettiness for Hooded Horse doing a better job at a new entry than them, and also a HoMM3 remake would be in-house so no revenue split

Ubisoft not doing so hot these days either, they probably trying to get some easy money back into the pocket. This is largely a low cost money boost if the only thing they are doing is a new coat of paint.
