You can also expect to see familiar artifact cards, four schools of magic with combat spells, and a hero progression system. There will be over 30 detailed miniature models of famous heroes (six in total) and 24 iconic creatures in the core game. Heroes of Might and Magic 3's board game loop will combine world-exploring of the randomized hexagonal map of Erathia and the chess-like turn-based battle system. In the tabletop version, you'll be able to control two heroes who gather resources and armies of well-known creatures from their settlements. Official details reveal the core package will feature only three different towns (out of nine available with The Shadow of Death expansion) - Inferno, Castle, and a third faction of the community's choosing.

Perhaps the more shocking note is that the community will fund the project, despite Ubisoft (which owns the rights to the franchise after purchasing it from The 3DO Company in 2003) acting as publisher.

Heroes of Might and Magic 3 has long felt like the perfect project for a tabletop adventure, making it quite the surprise you'll have to wait until 2023. The project will be funded via a Kickstarter campaign, scheduled to start in November 2022. Ubisoft has partnered with Archon Studio for an official Heroes of Might and Magic 3 tabletop game, featuring all the hallmarks of the cult-classic video game.
