Accordingly, some facts that emerged after this announcement:
- The Heroes 5 open beta test is not a demo version of the game, and therefore certain features that will be included after the official release will not be present.
- This version exists solely so that fans can roughly decide if they want to buy Heroes V in the future. This version is for testing, not for playing.
- Many aspects such as: skills, creature stats, spell effects, building prices in castles and much more - will be changed if decided upon following the open test.
- The open beta test is a test that will allow bugs and holes in the game to be eliminated and a proper game balance to be established, which should be chosen by the fans.
