There is a new Q&A at Heroic Corner with an unnamed member of the development team. A kind member of the official forums provided a translation. The feeling we get from that discussion is that more than ever, Heroes V appears to be a 3D remake of Heroes III, which is a good thing and a bad thing at the same time. Check out the very interesting discussion about Heroes III, IV, V and the future of turn-based strategy games at the Round Table (page two of the thread, posts by jP, John DiFool and PeteusMax, among others).

By the way, Fabrice is just back from a vacation following a busy E3 show. Let's hope he recovered enough strength for the Summer ahead of us.
