I didn't quite understand the part about Conflux, is it like in StarCraft 2 or something? Your own account, number of wins, etc. and so on???

I haven't played SC2, but I've gathered some information about Conflux. Firstly, you need your own Ubisoft account. Then, this system reminds me of Steam – you can access the internet at any time, view news/updates, and see in-game achievements. Additionally, you can create what's called a "hero dynasty." This part is a bit more complex, but it seems you can create heroes for each faction like building with LEGOs – choose a portrait, bonus, and name. You can then use this "template" in multiplayer. In the campaign, having your own dynasty allows you to choose a bonus before a mission (+gold, +resources, or +artifact). The video probably presents a trailer that explains why the "old universe isn't dead" :).

I was already thinking about a dynasty, like a guild in the game, among users who have united into a dynasty. P.S. I really love achievements ;)

The video probably presents a trailer that will explain why the "old universe is not dead" :).

More likely, it's something related to the tomb of Istvan Gryphon from the second mission of the prologue campaign.

It is quite possible that Ashan is a parallel universe to the old one. The comic book even mentions a "multiverse." Or perhaps the old Universe of Ancients was created by Ashan, but I hope that the plot won't go that way; a parallel world would be more appropriate, in my opinion. It would be better to preserve the classic approach.

By the way, parallel worlds are a great idea for maintaining the series' continuity. In the third game, there was an invasion of Conflux (a Castle) from another dimension into the world of Enroth.

Let's say that in the expansion, the appearance of a race from a parallel world (Enroth) in the world of Ashan – due to unsuccessful experiments in the field of magic or a deliberate struggle for the throne – would be a good plot twist.
The Castle should be practically unchanged in terms of its creatures since the third game. The series' continuity would be restored.

These could be the elves of Rampart, the mages of Tower, or the creatures of Fortress.
The appearance of the dwarves or elves from the fifth game in the expansion would also be welcome.

Because mages tried to create a super-soldier or develop a VIRUS.

Due to the mages' attempt to create a super-soldier or develop a VIRUS.

And the super-soldier is Jelu, an attempt to combine the best qualities of humans and elves? (it turned out to be something in between a gnome and a metalhead, but that's not the point)

In the third game, there was an invasion of the Conflux (castle) from another dimension into the world of Enroth.

It wasn't an invasion, but rather military assistance.

Why focus so much on the third Heroes game? Besides them, there are 15 other games in the old universe.

Or maybe they could introduce the Swamp, which so many people want to see :). Although, it seems to me that they are no longer planning to add new factions (not from "Heroes of Might and Magic V") – we haven’t seen any new icons, and only Sylath is “free” among the dragons. Perhaps the connection will be in something else?

Maybe because this part had the best gameplay. :)

What about Heroes of Might and Magic V? The gameplay was refined compared to Heroes of Might and Magic III, although it was slightly modified. And, in general, the old and new Might & Magic universes are being discussed now, in connection with the fact that one of the insiders reported that this issue will be raised in Heroes of Might and Magic VI.
