Release Date is Late Q2 2025

What the devs meant Q2 of 2025 is: To be taken in consideration of being somewhat really late in Q2(April to June).
In other words, Late May but, no later than 3rd week of June-2025.
Be patient, be very patient, young one.

I don't remember when was the last time I was so hyped for a new game coming out. I can't wait till this releases XD!

Eugene_Xaar, where did you find that "not approved" HOMM7 concept of elf riding a lynx?

My guess would be that it came from that blog that Ubisoft made to try to convince everyone they cared about our feedback by voting on the lineups. I vaguely remember some kind of calvary being an option.

But that disappeared from the face of internet, and I couldn't find the picture no matter how I searched (did see a thread on here bemoaning the concept got rejected).

I'm a Homm fan, I will find a way to be disappointed
I've been avoiding most of the news on the game so I can judge it when it is more fully ready, right now my HommII Grognard self is disappointed that they seem to be eschewing traditional fantast and fairytale in favour of their own creations. The collective unconscious of myths will always be stronger and more compelling.
I have the same problem with Songs of Conquest, but that said, the little gameplay I played of SoC was very good, even though I didn't like the visuals or designs, so I hope this game will be the same.
Totally agree. The problem with their "original" theme isn't even that it's terrible by itself, it's just that it is "Original".
HoMM always drew heavily from classic D&D and fairy tales, and that's a huge reason people loved it. Turning it into something that feels more like Warcraft or Warhammer just isn't what I'm looking for in a HoMM game.
I wonder if they do it because they think people prefer that really or is just their egos wanting to do their "own" thing.
Heroes literally took inspiration from Warhammer Fantasy, as well as DnD but the latter is much broader knowledge.
So you are contradicting yourself on this one, with all due respect ofcourse.
Inb4 what inspiration - Elves (high/wood) for example.

Warhammer is very heavily based on human mythos, which is why their own universe is so inspirational to so many people. (like Blizzard)
That said, I don't see the connection in Homm 2 and 3. DnD and even Star Wars seem much more prominent. Maybe the green skinned orcs/goblins in #3?

I probably don't understand the question, you mean what inspiration took H3 from Warhammer ? If that's it, then the answer is High Elves for example.

In what ways are High Elves an example of Warhammer inspiration, keeping in mind that 1) the term comes direct from Tolkien and was in use in D&D before Warhammer, 2) H3 doesn't, technically, have High Elves. It, like H2 before it, has Grand Elves, who are placed as part of the same culture, society and polities as Wood Elves?

A dude on DF2 kept pushing the idea that Dungeon was based on Warhammer Fantasy dark elves (even tho only like 2 creatures match)...
Fullton offhandedly mentioned boardgame Titan was a huge HOMM inspiration, so a lot of seemingly DND is not direct inspiration.

So according to this video, Paul Romero will be responsible for at least 4, at most 5 pieces of music for the soundtrack?
What the eff people, there's more towns than that. You're telling me we're not even getting all the town themes from him? I'm very very disappointed.

^Awesome interview really enjoyed it.
Not an expert but the H3 town themes sound real 'big' - might not be fitting for every game, especially with the pokemon style.

Hate to break it to you Poly, but Paul's role for the M&M brand has been reduced to that of a publicity stunt more than that of a composer. The fact that he is on the project is probably viewed as a costly compromise in the eyes of Ubisoft, but it has to be done for that green checkmark with the fans so they can't complain. I dislike it, but that's how it feels to me. The way he talked about people vetting on his music in meetings seemed to come from a place of frustration, so I'm not sure he's treated right but he's being professional about it. Either way, I'm happy he's still doing music for the franchise. I can rest assured that at least some of Olden Era's music will have his brilliance. Very much rooting for him.
I am also interested in Chris Velasco's melodies for the game. He's been a composer for some really big titles like God of War, Starcraft 2 and Mass Effect. Little known fact is that he also composed music for Dark Messiah and Heroes 6. I'm really looking forward to his music.
