Time to Talk Heroes 6?
Heroes 5 has been relatively successful. The game was released, it sold well, reviews were fairly good, and the producers didn't go bust. After two expansions and a couple of special editions, fans are also reasonably happy, and starting to feel the urge to move on to the next instalment in the series.
There's a problem, however: Even though other games related to Heroes (such as Dark Messiah) have been made, there's been no word on the development of a Heroes 6.
When should we expect rumours to reach fever pitch? When should we expect the producers to break down under the mounting pressure and admit to the fans that "YES! We're working on a new Heroes game! Now please put the baseball bat down!" When should be expect news of people being hired <i>en masse</i> to work on an "unspecified" project?
It certainly seems that enough fans are happy with Heroes 5 to warrant a new instalment; question is how long it will take to get the ball rolling on something new... some would argue that the previous ball hasn't even stopped rolling yet.

>When should we expect the producers
E3 perhaps ? At least I hope so (before that I hoped for KRI )

On Fabrice words on his last interview:
"Patching phase will go beyond 2008 if necessary"
We're almost on the half of 2008 and it seems we won't get new Heroes V stuff until Heroes Kingdoms is released, so the most probable thing it's they won't announce the new Heroes VI until 2009, and so, if we should add two years after this announcement (like it happened with Heroes V), we won't get Heroes VI till 2010 X-mas or even 2011 summer.

"fans are also reasonably happy"
Are you sure? Please, don't make me laugh. The Map Editor isn't complete and the Multiplayer experience is awful due to some lack of balance and a turtle gamespeed, among other things. And both of these last features are key for the game's longevity, so if they don't fix them we'll have a looong time to curse Ubival. Furhtermore, Heroes V may be the game less played (multi and single) of all the series, and this point should be worrying enough.

I don't think so. When the first images will be published, but not before.Kalah wrote:Time to Talk Heroes 6?

Aye...
A funny thought (and foolish, of course) came in my mind: they might be expecting us to talk about it to get inspired and start developing a game. Eh? *faithful smile* No?
Ok, I'm out.

Do you know something about HoMM Kingdoms beta? Since I have a beta test code since I bought HoMM complete, but going to the UBI forums didn't enlightened me at all.

Happy and Great thanks Could you be so kind to warn me with a couple of days before it starts, since I saw you post there too?

H5 has not gotten old yet, still fun to play and I play it online rather often Of course I should mention that had I been playing single I'd have been bored long ago, its single appeal does not come close to the one of H3 for some reason. So many combinations feeling wasted in a silly AI.
For all the mishaps it's pretty obvious that it was successful and sold well so H6 is just around the corner. Can't say I'm in a rush, H5 is satisfying for now plus the later they release it the better it will be. I have no wish to wait for patches so I can play again.

I, for one, am dying to find out what colour they paint Michael's toenails.

I agree with Elvin, that H5 has not gotten old yet. I can wait for few more years. And if H6 comes out too soon, it will decrease sells of H5. But they can start to develop H6 right now, And give us well polished and finished game after few years:)

Yes yes yes, I'm sure all the "dissatisfied" fans will come to complain, on a HV forum no less, in secret anticipation for HVI. Such dissatisfied customers...
I personally await HVI with anticipation. In the meanwhile there are plenty of others games to put my time to err.. constructive use.

I can wait for a Heroes 6 thanks to all the wonderful map makers that upload here keeping other HOMM versions alive and playable.
Heroes Kingdoms would be nice if it ever takes off, even I don't get lucky enough to snag a slot in the beta.

All I want to say is wake me up before it's time to go to bed.
Don't worry if things are going badly today. They will be much worse tomorrow.
