There seems to be some resentment with current HoTA release 1.5.3 - as they removed some of random elements from the game. Which can be cool for MP but evidently it's upsetting for SP. This is, they changed Resistance. And it can now even prevent enemy hero from summoning.  You can find the release here, compared to HoTA 1.5.2 this is a mainly bug fix release. Horn of the Abyss is Heroes III. fan AddOn.

If Ubisoft joined forces with Tencent, that means they have a strong partner. And that means they will continue to survive and produce more low quality garbage... instead of going bankrupt so that interested members of the community can pick up the Heroes franchise for cheap and make something better.

OK, so apparently no new King's Bounty, and no happy news about Might&Magic either. Disappointed 'bout that.

Kinda, yes. 1C revealed some interesting games but none of them is King's Bounty. I guess that we must cope without Amelie.
