mightandmagicworld.de - Der Treffpunkt für Might and Magic-Fans - Heroes 5 Neue Preview

Last week we had the opportunity to check out the new products that are pending in both of the Might and Magic and the Heroes of Might and Magic series. Here is the second part of that report, featuring details on Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer:

Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer is also in final play-testing, and it should be available within the next few weeks. New World traditionally recycles the same game engine for multiple products, and Might and Magic VIII will be the last game to use the increasingly outdated engine introduced by Might and Magic VI. There are a few minor tweaks to the engine, including a new panoramic view that lets you see more of the gaming world and the belated addition of mouse-look support. While Might and Magic VIII's outdated engine will likely be a common complaint from gamers, the series will finally go true 3D in Might and Magic IX, which will use the LithTech engine recently licensed from Monolith by The 3DO Company for future New World games.
