Might and Magic is active on three fronts: Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era is in early access and has sold 1 million units, a Heroes of Might and Magic III Remake is in development without a release date, and The Sundered Anvil, a game citing Might and Magic as an influence, is slated for PC in 2027.
The franchise's commercial footing is the clearest part of the picture. Hooded Horse announced on May 29 that Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era sold 1 million units, after entering early access on April 30 and moving 250,000 units in its first 24 hours. A roadmap for the early access period was released with the sales milestone.
Ubisoft then returned to the older catalog. At the gamescom Opening Night Live 2026 digital event, broadcast on August 26, it announced Heroes of Might and Magic III Remake, an update of the 1999 turn-based strategy game Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia. The remake carries 3D graphics at 4K, nine factions, the main game and two expansion packs, each original campaign presented as a single story, and new prologues, epilogues, and cinematic cutscenes. It supports online multiplayer for up to 8 players, local turn-based play, community maps from release day, and custom map creation. It lists Japanese subtitles. It is in development for PC via Steam and Ubisoft Connect, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, with store pages open. No release date has been announced; Ubisoft says only that it is coming soon.
A third thread comes from outside Ubisoft. Basilisk Games opened the Steam page for The Sundered Anvil on October 2, 2026. The 3D dungeon RPG has players build a four-person party from eight preset or custom characters, with eight races, eight classes, and 25 skills. It is turn-based, single-player, playable offline, and set in the world of Olytheus. The stated influences are Wizardry and Might and Magic. It is scheduled for PC via Steam in 2027, with no Japanese language support listed as of October 2, 2026.
