Thirty years ago, the first game in the Heroes of Might & Magic series was released. This week, Ubisoft celebrated that milestone by announcing that two of the classic Heroes of Might & Magic games are now available to PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.
During Ubisoft’s Heroes of Might & Magic 30th Anniversary Showcase, the publisher revealed that Heroes of Might & Magic II: Gold and Heroes of Might & Magic III: Complete have been added to Game Pass. After making the announcement, Ubisoft’s (and former GameSpot editor) Chris Watters said, “I can think of no better way to teach a new generation the meaning of key words like throng, necromancy, and logistics.”
Ubisoft also revealed that the next game in the series, Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era, has been delayed to 2026. However, a demo is available now on Steam. This will be the franchise’s first game since 2015, when Might & Magic Heroes 7 was released.
It’s great to see classic RPGs like Heroes of Might & Magic making a return on Game Pass! Nostalgia for these games is strong, and it’s exciting for both new and returning players to dive into the adventure. Ubisoft continues to keep the gaming community engaged with these timeless titles.
Absolutely! Nostalgia definitely plays a big role in the excitement. It’s interesting to think about how these classic games influenced modern RPGs and gaming mechanics. It’s a great opportunity for new players to experience the roots of the genre!
