Game News Hell is freezing over: Ubisoft's Might & Magic X is actually a blobber

Or at least that's how it looks like! From Polygon:

​

Ubisoft announced Might and Magic X Legacy today, the next installment in the Might and Magic first-person role-playing game series.​

Might and Magic X Legacy, in development with Limbic Entertainment, will be showcased at PAX East this weekend in Boston.​

The game picks up after the events of the previous title, 2011's Might and Magic Heroes 6. Players will send their character, one in a party of four heroes, into a world of political intrigue and warfare between competing factions. The paths players take and the actions they choose will define the fate of the in-game city of Karthal.​

Along the way players will battle fantasy creatures and enemies in a turn-based battle system, collect ancient treasures, complete quests and explore dungeons, labyrinths and towns as they unravel the story.​

Earlier this week Ubisoft teased the reveal with a website bearing the roman numeral X and numerous visual elements from the Might and Magic series.​

Check out the reveal trailer above for a first look at Might and Magic X Legacy.​

Wow. What further wonders will 2013 bring us? Ubisoft - I think this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. (nah, not really)

Update: Limbic Entertainment's website has what appear to be two screenshots from the game.

Update 2: Ubisoft have set up a proper official site for the game, with lots of details and additional screenshots.

HALP! THE CODEX DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO COPE WITH THIS! jkdlfh;sjkdlhf;sdjklfhs;dfls

[Sceptic]

It so much doesn't know how to cope that both Infinitron and CB made newsposts about it at the same time.

I refuse to get excited about this until more details surface. MM9 was also a Might and Magic true blobber and look how that turned out.

And as commie outlined in the other thread, it may be a turn-based blobber, but that alone doesn't ensure it is M&M.

I will stick to my scepticism for now while furiously fapping when no one is looking.

March 13, 2012 - Wasteland 2 Kickstarter
March 21, 2013 - M&M X Teaser

It's not a coincidence.

This is Ubisoft we are talking about... right? this confuses the shit out of me.

 

[SuicideBunny]

tb blobbers ftw!

 

[Duraframe300]

It's also made by limbic entertainment. You know Hereos VI and shovelware?

So what exactly are we getting excited about?

 

[ghostdog]

...

 

[Jaesun]

Also image at the end ONLY shows PC (there is no XBox or PS3 etc....). Not that it will not be written for consoles, like Diablo III. But still.

Also it *seems* turn based, but they do not specifically say that. I AM SO CONFUSE.

 

[Excidium]

Welp.

in before mobile-exclusive

It only says PC there at the bottom.

Also it *seems* turn based, but they do not specifically say that. I AM SO CONFUSE.

Maybe because it is implied? Would be funny if an AAA publisher released a tb game without parading it around like those kickstarter devs.

Through a turn-based gameplay system, defeat creatures and bosses to accomplish unique quests and make your way through dangerous dungeons, cities and labyrinths full of traps.

TB confirmed.

EDIT:

In the wake of the spectacular events in Might & Magic® Heroes® VI, you will play in a party of four adventurers entangled in intrigue and political machinations unfolding in and around Karthal. The city, on the verge of secession, is prey to competing factions vying for its control. Your actions will determine the fate of the city. Might & Magic X Legacy is an authentic solo experience in the classic first-person RPG genre. Create and lead your group into an exciting world and battle powerful mythical creatures while collecting ancient magical treasures. Through a turn-based gameplay system, defeat creatures and bosses to accomplish unique quests and make your way through dangerous dungeons, cities and labyrinths full of traps. Dive into vintage Might & Magic and play old school, new rules!​

OK still..... cautiously fapping...

Spoiler

Not much to go on, but on those shots alone the art style doesn't appeal to me one bit.

 

[Robert Jarzebina]

What's next? Bethesda making Fallout 4 more oldschool than Wasteland 2?

 

[Robert Jarzebina]

I think they were inspired by older M&M games art style.

In my opinion it is major since later M&M were looking....

 

[groke]

shit, I fucking lost it at the Sheltem voice clip. I know Ubisoft are gonna hurt me again, but... but maybe this time it'll be different!!!

 

[catfood]

Meh, I'm not too excited. Even if the game turns out to be half way good (which I highly doubt), it's still going to have Ubishit DRM which is a no-go for me.

 

[Infinitron]

Updated OP because fuck Gameranx

 

[Excidium]

Can always get the DRM-less version.

well this game is pretty silent, let's pump up the volume a bit check this buil- HELLO TRAVELLERS

 

[Jaesun]

it's still going to have Ubishit DRM which is a no-go for me.

They no longer do the ALWAYS ONLINE shit. BUT I believe they have that fucking retarded UBIPlay thing that you HAVE to install (didn't Assassins Creed III use that)?

 

[Stabwound]

They're trying to appeal to fans of the older games, both Ubisoft and the devs judging by what they wrote and the trailer itself, so that's good to me.

I'd prefer a Grimoire look rather than a Grimrock one, but hey.

As long as its turned based, open world and not retarded I'll be happy. I was expecting an abomination and this looks like it might possibly not be one.

The game might still be shit, but that's not the point: a AAAAAA company, Ubisoft of all things, producing an OLDSCHOOL, TURN-BASED BLOBBER. If that's not a weird (in a good way) change of the gaming industry paradigm, I don't know what is.
