Heroes of Might & Magic is having a moment. Not only are publishers Hooded Horse and Ubisoft backing the development of Unfrozen's Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era, the first new game in the series in more than a decade, but Ubisoft have revealed they're completely remaking the series' best-regarded entry: Heroes of Might & Magic 3.
While there are many quality of life improvements in the remake, Ubisoft aims to keep its spirit as close to the original as possible. There is a new three-mission prelude to get you into the story and teach you the game's systems but, after that, you're into the thick of the original campaign and its two expansions – Armageddon's Blade and The Shadow of Death. This also means you'll have all nine factions to play with.
I've played the remake for a few hours already and I'll get into my thoughts on that in a moment. But, the most telling thing about the remake is that it supports all the custom maps and campaigns players have made for the past 25 years. Ubisoft showed how you can import any original map file into Might & Magic 3 Remake's map creator and it will build a modern-looking level from the old data. It's a wonderful way to support the Heroes of Might & Magic 3 players who are still playing decades on from its release.

Last night, CD Projekt Red showed off the first footage we've seen for The Witcher 3 expansion, Songs of the Past – new content for the game launching some 11 years after the base game was released. The expansion takes us to a new location, Letten, a bucolic country very far from the conflicts and politics that dominate the rest of the continent Geralt calls home. But all is not as it seems in Letten – shortly after Geralt's arrival, his friend Dandelion goes missing, and what starts as a simple search for a missing bard quickly becomes a job worthy of a Witcher.
