Disciples has a new owner
Certainly, this news cannot be considered breaking news, but since it has not been officially announced, we are somewhat excused. At least, this information reached us only in the form of certain rumors.
So. We also contacted the Western publisher of the third part of the series that we all love, the German company Kalypso Media, and asked them a few questions related to the fate of the game. We received a response from the managing director and owner of the company, Simon Hellwig.
SoCrat: Is Kalypso Media currently the sole owner of the Disciples series (including Disciples: Sacred Lands, all Disciples II series, and Disciples III)?
Simon Hellwig: Yes, Kalypso Media has owned the Disciples intellectual property since 2015.
SoCrat: Does Kalypso Media have any plans regarding the further development of the Disciples series (at least in the foreseeable future)?
Simon Hellwig: There are no specific plans and no development is underway, but we would not have acquired the intellectual property if we did not see any potential for a new Disciples game in the foreseeable future. In addition, a new game could only be developed with the support and cooperation of its fan Community.
SoCrat: Thank you for your answers. It seems to me that if any plans arise for the further development of the Disciples series, Kalypso Media can count on real support and cooperation from the Community. Please inform us in this case.
It is difficult to say whether this news can be considered encouraging. But, as it seems to us, the series will definitely not suffer from this. At least, Kalypso Media's motto is "Where games live." Let's hope that the Disciples series is doing well there and has a glorious future ahead.

Petition for the continuation of the Disciples game series
The famous Disciples game series has millions of fans around the world. According to most of them, the second part is the most successful.
Unfortunately, after the not-so-perfect Disciples III, the game series ceased to exist. The last expansion for Disciples III: Mountain Clans remained frozen.
However, despite this, millions of fans continue to hope for the continuation of this legendary game series.
Please do not leave their hopes unanswered. I believe that you are capable of creating a worthy continuation of a worthy game. Moreover, I am even sure that the fan Community is capable of financing the development through crowdfunding, for example, using Kickstarter.
Give the fans of this game series a chance!
