During Gamescom's Opening Night Live, Ubisoft officially announced Heroes of Might and Magic III Remake, a modern reinterpretation of its iconic masterpiece. The new title is currently in development, led by Ubisoft's Chengdu and Shanghai studios in China, with support from its Paris and Montpellier studios. The official release is scheduled for 2027, with platform support for PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation, and the subscription service Ubisoft+. PC players will be able to play the game via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and Ubisoft Connect.

Built completely from the ground up on the Snowdrop engine, this remake trades the original's fixed perspective for a full 3D environment with free camera control. Featuring 4K high-resolution graphics, dynamic lighting effects, and real-time weather and seasonal change systems, it vividly depicts the battlefields of the continent of Erathia. Players can immersively experience the story of Queen Catherine embarking on a crusade to restore order to a kingdom in turmoil through full cinematic cutscenes and a new prologue campaign.

In terms of content, the game fully includes everything from the original base game alongside its expansions, Armageddon's Blade and The Shadow of Death. All nine iconic factions and original campaigns are included, while the multiplayer environment has also been significantly enhanced to feature online battles for up to eight players, a simultaneous turn system, and full support for the local 'Hot Seat' mode.

Xavier Poix, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of Ubisoft's China and France studios, stated, "Heroes of Might and Magic III Remake is our way of highlighting the rich legacy of the 1999 original while updating that experience for a new generation of players," adding, "This remake establishes a perfect foundation to further expand an already beloved game while serving as a stepping stone to open the next chapter of the franchise."

Regarding community support, the game maintains data compatibility with thousands of user-created maps and campaigns built by fans over the past 25 years. Players can easily download and share community creations using an upgraded dedicated editor and an in-game UGC hub. Meanwhile, alongside the announcement of the new title, Ubisoft launched sales of Heroes of Might and Magic III Complete on Steam. Ubisoft previously reported net bookings of 1.53 billion euros for fiscal year 2025–26.
