Will anyone pick up this series again? WHO?

"Part 5" was a worthy continuation, even though it was from the same publisher. If they find a decent developer, then maybe "Part 7" will revive the series.

The problem isn't the publisher, but the developer. If Ubisoft had given it to someone other than Black Hole, things might have been different.

If they find a decent developer, then maybe "Heroes 7" will revive the series.

OF COURSE!!!

So, why are you bashing Ubisoft? They made a mistake once, and what? EVERYONE is allowed to make mistakes.

A competent developer?

well, IT'S IRRESPONSIBLE

Goodness... What is the irresponsibility in the work of the Hungarians? Which of their obligations to the publisher have not been fulfilled? What is this nonsense? If anyone is to blame for the complete failure, it is the publisher.

besides, Ubisoft won't sell the series because they are not in such a critical state that they would have to dump everything.

God... What is the irresponsibility in the work of the Hungarians? Which of their obligations to the publisher were not fulfilled? What is this nonsense? If anyone is to blame for the complete failure, it is the publisher. Although this company can hardly be called that. They are the most real scammers. Hiring a small company for a large-scale project, cutting their funding, shortening deadlines, and making changes to the gameplay at the final stages – yes, that's normal. The only thing the developers failed at is the legal aspect. If they had qualified lawyers on staff, they would have rejected such a contract immediately, when the publisher gets complete freedom of action.

Do you work at Ubisoft or Black Hole? If not, then, IMHO, digging into someone else's dirty laundry is not the best idea. It would be good if at least half of what that Black Hole employee said in that remote message was true. It's not very fair to judge such things when we only know the position of one side.

That same message, of course, did not mention the mistakes that the Black Hole employees made. And we will probably never know if BH actually fulfilled all its obligations to Ubi on time. The game's release date, as I recall, was postponed at least twice. Therefore, as far as deadlines are concerned, I think it was more about extending them than shortening them.

I believe this letter, at least because after its publication, no refutation followed from "Ubisoft."

Indirect arguments in favor of the truthfulness of the "Black Hole" employee's statement may be the games created by the Hungarians earlier (normal creation conditions and, as a result, a decent result).

and the comments from "Nival" regarding the contract for the development of the sixth installment, which was exploitative in its essence.

The main character of the campaign will indeed be Railag. Uniting with the forces of Darkness and gaining the support of black dragons, he will show the underground dwellers the darkness at the end of the tunnel. Because it was too bright there before. However, the affairs of the dark elves will not go unnoticed - their magical experiments will cause an illness in the spider goddess Mother Namtara, who is worshiped by the necromancers of Heresh (the developers cannot be denied irony - because it is the spider Lolth that the classic drow pray to). A death knight and a vampire in one undead body, Vayne, will have to deal with the chaos. His main opponent, however, will be Sandro. And all the events of the game will take place one hundred years after what we played in the original Heroes 6.

And why would Ubi even need to justify themselves? Attract public attention to this message when most fans don't even know about it?

Actually, I think they are quite mediocre games. At least, Heroes 6 is not their worst creation.

There's also a smiley face there. A smiley face usually means a joke or irony.

Every joke has a grain of truth. :p In the end, they refused, which means something bothered them.

Shukfir, I didn't say that the news I published was official.

That's true. Some fans tend to take any unverified rumors as official announcements, and then get upset, saying that the developers promised something but didn't deliver.
