Ubisoft is remaking Heroes of Might and Magic III, the foundational 1999 turn-based strategy title, as a full 3D rebuild slated for 2027. The project is being developed by Ubisoft's studios in Chengdu and Shanghai, with the remake targeting current-generation consoles including Xbox Series and PlayStation platforms. Rather than a ground-up redesign, Ubisoft's stated approach emphasizes modernizing the game's systems while maintaining what made the original strategy blueprint work, including consideration for the established modding community that has kept the game alive for over two decades.
- A full 3D reconstruction rather than a remaster, rebuilt for modern hardware and console audiences rather than staying within the original's sprite-based constraints.
- Development led by Ubisoft's Asian studios signals the company's strategy of distributing major remake projects across its global offices.
- The 2027 window gives Ubisoft time to balance fidelity to the source material with necessary modernization, though specifics on mechanics or campaign content remain unannounced.
