Looks interesting and finally Ubisoft is doing something new, instead of overly relying on a few franchises.

I hate to break it to you... But...

Might and Magic is a very old, long running franchise from the 90's... With a spin off also called "Heroes of Might and Magic".

There are dozens of games in this franchise. Last title was Heroes of Might and Magic X in 2013, Heroes of Might and Magic 7 in 2015.

A few other spin offs as well like Kings Bounty, Dark Messiah, clash of heroes and more.

It's got a very loyal PC fanbase, which has kept these games making money.

Fair enough, but at least the last entry is already 7 years old instead of one or two years. So not something new, but at least fresh milk instead of sour milk from a dried utter.
