The French company Ubisoft Entertainment has laid off the developers of the latest installments of the Might & Magic Heroes computer game. According to experts, the termination of the agreement was dictated by a lack of interest from the audience and low sales figures.
The sixth and seventh parts of the Might & Magic Heroes game series did not meet the expectations of Ubisoft Entertainment. The turn-based strategies developed by Limbic Entertainment became an unprofitable project for the distributor. Both parts received less than 50% of the user rating on Steam and insignificant sales figures worldwide. Ubisoft's official statement does not contain any specific criticism of the developers, but the sales statistics suggest otherwise. It is currently unknown how the "Heroes" series will develop further.
Players had mixed reactions to the sixth installment, comparing it to the more successful Heroes 3 and 5. According to experts, the termination of the agreement with Limbic Entertainment was dictated precisely by the poor position of the product on the market.

At the time, the fifth installment was relatively well-received and sold well. Therefore, the next, sixth installment was given the green light. But the sixth game severely undermined trust in Ubisoft, but it still sold relatively well (benefiting from the brand and the old guard of fans). The seventh installment was already awaited with distrust, and this distrust was fully justified. And then they abandoned the project without support, leaving it in an unfinished state with a bunch of bugs...
Ubisoft is in a difficult situation: continuing the series on their own after so many failures is simply foolish, and leaving it to gather dust as dead weight is irrational, as they have invested huge amounts of money in the project.
Perhaps we will see a new global reboot of the series, like the fifth installment once was. Under the wing of a new company, and in a new world. And in my opinion, this is rather good news, as Ashan has become stagnant and is not developing, and it has also become tiresome - fresh blood is needed.
