A couple of years back, I stumbled upon a job listing for a social media manager role related to an upcoming Might and Magic game being made at Ubisoft’s Shanghai studio. In 2021 an open world manager position appeared on their job board. Recently they registered two new domains: http://mightandmagicfates.com and http://might-and-magic-fates.com. These postings caused a lot of speculation that a brand-new, high-budget, open-world Might and Magic adventure game might be in the pipeline.
The last installment we received from this franchise was Might and Magic X Legacy almost a decade ago now, which had grid-based movement and is currently holding mixed reviews. Personally, I’ve poured over 100 hours into the title and had a great time. However, it definitely left me wanting more. So, this announcement is incredibly exciting for me and I’ll be following its development closely.
I definitely have questions about this. Will it bring back to the classic blobber style, or could it take a different direction, perhaps veering into the realm of mobile gaming, akin to the wildly popular Genshin Impact? There has not been any official news yet, but I have a feeling we will receive some concrete news from Ubisoft in the upcoming year.
