There are signs that the next installment in the Heroes of Might & Magic series is being developed by Ubisoft Shanghai.
In a job posting published by the studio on the Gamasutra website, it was stated that the new employee would be working on a Heroes of MM project, described as a fantasy role-playing game. The project is intended for computers (PC and Mac) and consoles (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3).
The description of the project and the requirements for the applicant suggest that this is the next installment in one of the most famous game series. This is how it was understood on the Kotaku website. Meanwhile, the project name (Heroes of MM) has disappeared from the announcement. There are no official comments from either the studio or the publisher yet.
Recently, the world of "Heroes" has become more familiar to us through its strategic component. The action RPG Dark Messiah of Might & Magic is more of a side project. The last role-playing game about the world of "Heroes" – Might & Magic IX: Writ of Fate – was released more than 7 years ago.

What will the Chinese do, and will the heroes stop being a strategy game? That would be a disaster. We'll wait and see.
