Hmm, don't you think that "Shadows of Darkness" sounds a bit absurd?
In the official email, the expansion was called "Shades of Darkness" - it sounds much better.

Well, what kind of shadows can darkness have...? - in my opinion, this immediately falls apart, and that's why there's a common expression - "shades of gray," but "shades of darkness" doesn't really work. There's the expression " грани тьмы " - meaning the boundary, and "грани" - is probably an association with some kind of facet of the substance "darkness."

"грани тьмы" - several boundaries, borderline states.

I think the meaning here is that darkness is multifaceted. It can appear and be anywhere, take any form, etc.
In the sense that Shukfir wrote, like:
"Yorgen and you?
And me, and there are many of us like that."

Well, and basically the title of the expansion: "Multifaceted Darkness" :)

Google Translate suggests the translation "Shades of Darkness".
Карты для Heroes of Might and Magic V
Цикл "Закадычные враги": "Особенное гостеприимство, "Супероружие", "Меж молотом и наковальней"
"Падение Шантири"

Кампания для "Кодекса Войны"
"Выбор Сагиттеля"

In the sense that Shukfir wrote it like this:

Hey, I didn't write anything there. :) That's from Sanctuary.

If not a literal translation, then something like "Outlines of Darkness" or "Faces in the Mist" would work. The word "oblik" (form, appearance) would be suitable, but it's not commonly used in the plural, which sounds colloquial. In short, there are many options. If there was a desire, it would be great to translate it well. But these "Shades of Darkness"... it's like something from a children's game.

In general, I'm in favor of "Outlines of Darkness." It reflects the essence of the expansion: Darkness emerges onto the world stage of Ashan, subtly revealing the outlines of its countless forms.

Adagio Yeah, it's getting warmer. With the faces, that's the thing, they call themselves faceless. It would be even better if we had some context, i.e., what the campaign is about (multidimensionality, outlines, or something else), so we could choose a more descriptive and fitting title. Shukfir Well, in edit mode, I couldn't see who had the signature, so I guessed, sorry.

Yes, it's mine. And don't assign my signature to others.

There are many of us, and... one of us.
From this, one could come up with something like "Diversity of Darkness," but our translators seem to have a hard time with it. They translated "Hammers of Fate" as "Lords of the North," even though the original name doesn't mention the north at all.

info from Buka about the plot of the expansion (everyone has probably seen it already, but still):
Buka
Description
A century has passed since the tragic events of "Might & Magic: Heroes VI," which determined the fate of the Griffin dynasty. The "Shades of Darkness" expansion tells of pivotal moments in the dark history of Ashan in two original campaigns. They decide the fate of the backward underground people and the fate of the dying cult of the Spider Queen. The future of the legendary dark elves of the Dungeon and the necromancers of the Necropolis depends on you.


Added after 55 seconds
and Buka will name the expansion "Shades of Darkness".

I was hoping they would tell the story of the elves splitting into dark and "light" factions, introducing two new races at once. That would have been epic. I forgot the name of that event... but in "Heroes of Might and Magic V" there were many interesting references to the time when the elven people split into two parts, one of which fled into the dungeons. Something like that.
