Personally, I view all of this optimistically, as they have specified a concrete release date, rather than just "winter" or "spring." Besides, let's be honest, half of the content was ready even when the original game was released; they didn't have that much work left to do.

By the way, on Facebook, it was also mentioned that the Complete Edition of Heroes 6 will be released on February 28th. This means that Shades of Darkness will be the first and last expansion.

Yes, they simply mixed up the names; the edition with the original game and mini-expansions is also called the gold edition.

hint from the developers about the Academy

Construct Week… where will constructs get their mages if there aren’t any mages in the game?

I read the info about Raelag and came to the conclusion that there will be dwarves in "Shades of Darkness".

It's like a hint from the developers about sulfur because of Sulfur Week. In other words, it’s something like a joke.

They definitely won't be a full-fledged faction. Because things like the number of factions are announced initially. I remember many fans were expecting an unexpected surprise in the form of a supposed 6th faction for the original edition. But, as expected, it turned out as promised – five.

It is far from certain that the plot of the expansion will describe what is said in Raelag's biography.

I didn't say that there would be a dwarf faction (although I did have that in mind)
I don't see any other facts about the plot of the expansion, and the timing seems right.

You should also remember the hamsters and hamster berserkers from HoMM 5 for a week.

By the way, it was also said on Facebook that the Complete Edition of Heroes 6 will be released on February 28. That is, Shadows of Darkness will be the first and last add-on.
Maybe "complete" means that the addon is separate, but there will be a version together with the game. Something like that.
Heroes, today we are thrilled to announce that the long-awaited Might & Magic Heroes VI standalone expansion, Shades of Darkness, will be officially released on the 28th of February 2013.

The Complete Edition of Heroes 6 will be released the same day.

You’ll still remember the hamsters and hamster berserkers from Heroes 5 for another week.
But in the end, they did introduce dwarves!

COMPLETE doesn't mean FINAL
there's still a Platinum edition.
It would be great if this Complete Edition looks good, especially if another expansion is released. Complete, but not quite complete. I hope this is the end. Enough is enough. Stop milking it and move on. And no need for a seventh installment. At least, not from the current publisher.
They just mixed up the names; the edition with the original game and mini-expansions is also called gold.
They can't even assign names to the editions properly.

The sixth game is a terrible flop. Except for one element: the Sanctuary.

But dwarves were eventually added!

Gnomes are just like hamsters! The growth rate simply doesn't increase due to a bug.

"Heroes of Might and Magic V" was a worthy continuation, even though it was from the same publisher. If they find a good developer, then maybe "Heroes of Might and Magic VII" will revive the series.
