So far it's only speculation on our part.
In the meantime, look at this artwork!
Full view here
I must say I find Solmyr and Sandro disappointing, really.
And where's Tarnum?
On the other hand, I really like how Archibald and Crag Hack turned out.
EDIT: They fudged up Corak's eyes

Well, regardless of Corak's eyes, I'd say it's the best piece of artwork Ubi have produced in a long time.

No worries, it's a great chance for some insolent viral marketing:

Because that's Solmyr.
Why is there a ghoul in the screenshot?

It's Isabells obviously. Don't you recognize her? Just look at how Raelag/Agrael averts his eyes in SHAME because everybody sees her before putting on her make up.
Also Sheltem sounds like he'd be difficult to balance...

Does this picture imply that all these characters still exist within the current might and magic universe? In that case Sheltem and Corak are obviously the biggest surprise.
Or is this just a fan pleaser for the anniversary?

...you haven't played any of the previous installments have you? The Genie is Solmyr one of the franchieses most iconic Heroes. In H6 we'll see the return of quite a number of "traditional" characters, I'm not a huge fan of the whole alternate universe stuff where people exist all over the place since it just seems like a lazy solution comic book writers came up with to rectify plotholes but whatever I'll be happy.
Also the Juggernaugt vs Griffin thing makes sense considering the whole "Asha" vs "Urgash" (**** URGASH LOOKS LIKE A BAUWSS) theme this is going for.
EDIT: On second thought it isn't a showdown between good and evil. Too many wusses on the right side that aren't nearly hardcore evil enough.

Asha is bigger than Urgash in that picture. I do not approve. Urgash may be trying to compensate with multiple eyes but that's just not as intimidating as having the freaking celestial heavens for wings T_T.

I thought it was the H2 genie (come on, the most awesome genie in the homm serie)
hum yeah, I had bad feeling about that game, and more and more it looks like it will be like H5. like it will be unplayable until they release the last expansion.
I don't really get their idea of balance, in one hand, it's like they are trying to make everything as generic as possible, heroes have the same skills (from what I read) not much difference between many creatures, and on the other hand they have some abilities that are so completely crazy that I don't see how it could be balanced, like a low tier unit being able to blind for 4 turns or to resurrect, mass life drain, heroes perks which drastically increase the growth of creatures...
seriously, you read stuffs about a growth of 6 champions per week, hundreds of cores, mass life drain, etc... you think the game must have last a few months at least, but no, that's what you have at the beginning of the 2nd week
Quote: Ps the dreamwalker owes his origins to dreamwalking() and his ability IS dream-related. Read the descriptions.
she probably meant that it's just a slow / haste ability. but I'm not sure what a more original ability could be. maybe the dreamwalker could have a "out of body" ability. like a NDE I mean, I read the process might be similar when you dream. basically, he would create a phantom image of himself, and as long as the phantom image is present on the battlefield, he can't act himself, because he is sleeping (kinda like the seducer succubus)

One person I can't figure out who is.
Who the hell is the redheaded Naga girl between Godric and Roland
Also The orc in the center is Gotai I suppose.
