Xhane Confirms M&M Rebranding

[Sikon]

Ubisoft community manager Xhane has <a href="/http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums?a=tpc& ... nfirmed</a> on the official forums that future Might and Magic titles will be prefixed rather than suffixed with the "Might and Magic" title. She says that it doesn't mean there will be no future RPG in the franchise, only that it won't be called Might and Magic X.



And while she did not confirm Heroes VI or any other new games, she drew attention to the "leaked hint" in the video with the "Might and Magic: Heroes VI" shirt.

Huh, so it will be named Might and Magic: X?

[Sikon]

Might and Magic: X-Files!



(Wait, why are the comments displayed bottom to top? It makes no sense!)

The impression I get from the comments there is that it isn't actually Xhane giving those answers, but the CoH producers - ie Erwan and Romain, who are even higher-up.

I'm not really happy that they claim they'll never make MMX, but I guess if it was ever going to come from them it would've done so a long time ago.

[GreatEmerald]

Corlagon, say what? They directly state that:

it does not mean that there’ll never be a RPG Might&Magic

[pirvix]

Well that "RPG Might&Magic" might just end up being "Might&Magic: Dark Messiah 2" or something similar
if they said directly "not MMX but just another Might & Magic RPG" than that's bound to fail miserably, belive me..............

[Corlagon]

They will not make Might and Magic X, it's directly stated in the interview. But even if they did, it just wouldn't be the same and we all know it. No use clinging to threads of hope.

[vicheron]

I said this before, they're consolidating the brand in preparation for the launch of a new series of games.

[klaymen]

Wow, what a original and creative move.
/sarcasm

I hope that they will produce at least one real MaM game, not another Dark Messiah.

[Deadguy118]

It doesn't matter what they do next, be it Heroes VI or RPG. The majority of the people on this website will hate it simply because it's not made by New World Computing.

[GreatEmerald]

I woulnd't hate it just because it's not by NWC. I would hate it, though, if it was on some Ashan and all models looked ludicrous, as the case is with MMH5.

[darknessfood]

Nice, so when we are finished with MMX we won't get a lawsuit !

[Evernight]

Give some credit, though: hating it because it isn't made by NWC is pretty reasonable. Those were better, simpler times.

To be honest - no they weren't. 3DO milked franchise as good as Ubisoft now. Remember Heroes Chronicles (8 maps for that price?), CoMM, WoMM, LoMM and other games which only good point was "of Might and Magic" in title (OK, maybe few other things also but generally these games were disappointment compared to HoMM or MM earlier games).

And however some "clever" marketing heads rename the series, it always will be live as HoMM and MM on fansites.
The more officials want to change something, the more it stay in people minds.

[Dalai]

I think this is just great. No more games they produce in some low-cost low-quality programming centers will be called "Heroes of Might and Magic". There will be less confusion about what people are talking about - good old HoMM or new beells'n'whistles M&M:H stuff. I only wish they did it before HoMM-5.

[Marcus333]

I really don't like this at all. Just another step away from the classics.

[astral76minor]

Ah, the failure of Heroes and the RPG M&M really revolves around the lack of one important factor, TURN-BASED STRATEGY.



Take TBS away and say goodbye to our future with these games. In fact, TBS is becoming so rare these days, I can only hope and pray. If no one cares, then retro might become the only way to play.

[Sikon]

Dalai, any chance you could stop trolling?

[Avonu]

Just remember when I saw MM in HV name for the first time - it was in 2006 year when some outside company (Magic Lab) produced HV trailer (this with knight from HV box):

[Toejam]

I agree with astral76minor, it is becoming pretty hard to find TBS games (none ds/psp) on console or pc, and i might have to turn 100% retrogamer also
