According to Nival Interactive, in fall 2007 we will, sadly, see the final chapter in the epic struggle that began with the interrupted wedding of Queen Isabel and changed forever the fate of every faction of the world of Ashan. But, to the joy of players awaiting a new race in Heroes V, in this chapter we will at last get to see the barbarians in the form of the Orc tribes.
«Heroes of Might and Magic 5: Tribes of the East» - that is the name of the next expansion for Heroes 5. In the add-on we will follow the steps of the mighty Necromancer Arantir, who exposes the Demon Sovereign's conspiracy and challenges his own kin, and we will also learn the secret of the prophecy of the Dark Messiah's coming into this world. Another feature of this expansion is that it will go on sale as a standalone product, not requiring a disc with the original Heroes of Might and Magic 5.
