Today, Ubisoft announced the development of a brand new RPG experience in the Might & Magic series. Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes is set to launch worldwide in August 2009 and will feature puzzle-RPG gameplay. According to the presser, players will adventure “through five unique and epic quests,” alternating between “exploration and turn-based puzzle battles in the game to save the world of Ashan from demonic chaos.” Might & Magic Clash of Heroes also incorporates a new “manga-style art design.” Interested players will be able to experience “a world populated by knights, elves, wizards, necromancers, and demons… manage their own hero, customize their army, and lead campaigns in the mythic Might & Magic world.” Sounds interesting; hopefully the gameplay mechanic will shake things up rather than relying on Puzzle Quest-like mechanics of match-three and board-controlling combat abilities. Not that there is anything wrong with the formula, I just think we’re all ready for a change.
