Heroes 6 Servers Will Be Shut Down on 25th Jaunary 2024

Unread postby {CH}ArticleBot » 01 Nov 2023, 17:09

And there come new friendly batch of decomissioning online servers for Ubisoft games. If you played Heroes VI, it's in.

Decommissioning of online services for older Ubisoft games (January 2024)

Heroes of Might and Magic VI

You will be unable to play multiplayer, link Ubisoft accounts in-game or use online features.

Additionally, the Ubisoft Connect rewards will be unavailable.


This is last strike after Dynasty system was disabled. There should be true, that you get some of its reward by default now, as they were very handy to speed up your progress and enriched your experience.

Such is a fate of games, which rely not only on online Ubisoft dependat multiplayer but also on online experience enriching system.

Oh great.. as someone who still hasn't finished the whole game and wants to play the Xeen DLC content this is not cool. If I recall those bonus DLCs were downloaded inside the game. Do you know if they're doing a patch for the game like they had to do with M&M10? As there's so much other stuff inside the game linked to online.. if they just switch off the servers the game will be stuffed and I fear we'll lose access to DLC after a fresh install.

Was just thinking.. the only potential positive out of all of this is that IF Ubisoft do get the message and patch Heroes 6 to work better be more featured in offline mode, then that would finally open the doors to the modding community to try and fix other remaining bugs (ie black screen, dark map, buggy dynasty weapons etc) and add more content like we're seeing in the awesome Heroes 5.5 and 7.5 fan projects.

This is awful news! I still play Heroes VI online with friends all the time. Is there any way Ubisoft can reconsider?
