At the end of 2006, Ubisoft announced that the game didn't even make it into the top 15 projects that met fans' expectations, and the game received a lot of criticism. Many fans appeared after the add-ons were released, although mostly because of the orcs.

By the way, Ubisoft earned more from the sales of the add-ons than from the game itself. 2 million copies in 2-3 years isn't much, considering that I was talking about the failure of Heroes 5, not the add-ons. And by the way, 2 million for Heroes 5 plus 2 add-ons is very little. Assassin's Creed 2 sold 2 million copies in the first week for PC alone, and there were 4 million on Xbox and 3 million on PS3. So, let's calculate where the real failure is.
I didn't count how many fans appeared after the orcs were introduced, as I don't have that kind of statistical information. But the fact is that Heroes itself isn't a game that attracts millions of players worldwide; the format is a bit different. Turn-based strategy is quite rare these days and appeals to a niche audience. It's unlikely that many modern players would get hooked on such a game, and most of the fan base seems to be concentrated in Eastern European countries, and I don't know why. Therefore, I think that the sales figures for Heroes 5 and its add-ons are satisfactory, especially since there is no DRM protection at all, unlike Assassin's Creed with its online protection.
