Why it matters

A full 3D rebuild of the 1999 strategy game still played competitively a quarter of a century on, widely held to be the high point of the genre.

About Heroes of Might and Magic III Remake

Ubisoft is rebuilding the 1999 turn-based strategy game in full 3D as Heroes of Might and Magic III Remake. The package covers the original campaigns plus both expansions, Armageddon's Blade and The Shadow of Death, and restores all nine factions. Development is led by Ubisoft's Chengdu and Shanghai studios with support from the Paris and Montpellier teams. The original is one of the few games of its age still played competitively, which raises the stakes on a remake considerably: the audience knows exactly how it is supposed to feel.

Ubisoft unveiled the remake during Gamescom's Opening Night Live in August 2026 and set it for 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, with no month announced. On PC it will sell through Steam and Ubisoft Connect among other storefronts, and be included with Ubisoft+. The open question is how a 3D rebuild handles a game whose readability came from flat hand-drawn sprites. Ubisoft has shown art but not enough sustained play to settle it. The classic version remains on sale separately.
