A lot of people missed a new video interview because of Ubisoft's very strange way to update the various versions of the Might and Magic portal. As you might have noticed by now, the French, U.S. English, U.K. English and German pages of that site do not contain the same updates. Such a strategy makes sense for a local contest for instance, but an interview with a game producer should definitely show up on the U.S. English page, which is the default when accessing the site. That interview is with Erwan Lebreton, associate producer at Ubisoft. His current project is to supervise the writers and artists responsible for the creation of the new world of Might and Magic, but the interview is mostly a marketing pitch for the upcoming 3D action game, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. Lebreton talks about the Source engine and about the challenge of bringing Might and Magic in a completely different genre. The movie has a superb image quality, as long as you select the downloadable version of the movie (a 30 MB file -- but a 7 MB stream is also available), and includes several never-seen-before sequences from the game.
