Dear Heroes,

Limbic developers have worked a lot since game release to brought you a new patch 1.2.

The list of fixed bugs is really exhausive, summary:

• Fixed Campaign & Scenario Maps walkthrough blockers
• Improved AI speed and decision making process
• Improved global compatibility and performances of the game
• Fixed Load, Save & Autosave corruptions in various

IGN have picked up a story first reported by Reddit users: The Heroes VII Collector's Edition sold in the U.S. (no confirmation as to the status for the rest of North America) contains all the stuff advertised earlier,

Despite what the programmers at Limbic thought on release day, and in spite of the ridiculously huge day-1-patch, Heroes VII was released with quite a lots of bugs, confirming our earlier statements that beta testing is not as thorough as the testing done by actual consumers. Both the Ubisoft and Steam forums, as well as our own, have been inundated with complaints from disappointed customers. For those of you who are waiting for more stable and polished versions, there is light in the tunnel.

Might & Magic: Heroes VII was launched today. The wait is over, now it is time to see what the finished product actually looks like! I just downloaded the game (10GB) through Steam, but I presume downloading is not an option for everyone; thankfully, there are physical copies being sold as well.

We will publish a review in due course, but only after playing the game properly

Ubisoft have announced that as Heroes VII approaches its official launch date, there will be two new streaming sessions on Twitch with Limbic and Ubisoft, respectively:

• Friday 25th at 3pm CEST:

There you are. The collector's edition, as published on the Facebook page. You want it? If not, there are regular editions too.

Our old buddy Marzhin popped by and said here will be another Twitch stream by Ubisoft on September 8th, this time featuring stuff about the H7 map editor, as well as what Marzhin calls "some surprises and announcements".

The official announcement about the video is ...

In this 3-hour long live stream, Limbic talk about the coming H7 game and answer questions from the fans.

We have gotten word that Limbic are going to set up a live stream of the closed beta #2 tomorrow. During the stream, Dan S and a level designer will be playing a skirmish map and answer questions from you fans, chatting and having a good time.

You wanna hang out with the devs?

The "gold version" of a game traditionally means the version that is printed on CDs/DVDs and shipped to stores for distribution. In later years, though, especially with the breakthrough of digital distribution, the term has become somewhat ambiguous: it usually means the finished product as the players see it on day 1 of sales.

The Heroes VII developers have now ...

Ubisoft are launching a second beta round next week. They are also giving away beta codes at random intervals, but they are snapped up quickly so you'll have to pay close attention to their Facebook account if you're going to get hold of one.

In this round, you will be able to play Haven and Academy, as before, and also ...

Need I say more?

After playing the beta for a while and digesting the impressions, I have written this preview of the game.

If you're curious about the state of it and what it looks like some three months away from its scheduled release in September, have a read and check out those videos I made as well.
