    I thought the Might&Magic showdown already happened in MM5 with Corak and Sheltem?

    Ubishit already has a M&M card game though.

    EDIT: whoops, it appears they closed it down last month.

    I can't picture a card game or a forgettable multiplayer experience being not only teased but teased two years ahead of a release. I can see it being a skyrim-like or dark magic game. Yet, who am I kidding, ubisoft lives to disappoint.

    Nah, THQ Nordic or Paradox will buy the rights to M&M franchise eventually, mark my words.

    I'm not saying that anything good will come of this, still they couldn't fuck it up worse than Ubisoft.

    In some countries of the world Ubisoft has retained the Might and Magic franchise since day one I believe, even as publishers. I don't think they will let it go anytime soon.

    No, 3do did...

    -MM9? Shit
    -HoMM4? Charming, but shit.
    -Crappy MM action game? Warriors of MM.

    Oh know! UbiSoft is making an online shooter with the MM license, you say? Well, 3do got them beat. It was called Legends of MM. I bet I'm the only fag who has played that shit.

    At the very least there should be a warning about watching this turd with the volume off. What marketing dipshit honestly thought 5 straight minutes of a fucking raid siren was a good idea?

    What could go wrong with Might and Magic when their target audience is Wiz Khalifa with a drone on his back? :negative:

    Didn't they milk everything there was to milk from M&M franchise?

    Come to think of it M&MXL was sort of attempt to make a good game, so maybe now they feel they can do another shit one.

    I played Legends of Might and Magic. It was sort of interesting the way the tried to take the Counter-Strike style economy of items and introduce neutral grinding mobs. I vaguely remember thinking that the level design was okay,but that it was super held back by how underpopulated the servers were. I also remember that there were.... 3 game modes(?) but that people only ever played the Rescue the hostages Princess mode.

    BTW, out of all the shitty M&M spinoffs you forgot perhaps the shittiest: Cruasders of Might and Magic.
