Prepare thyself adventurers and strategy fans alike, for Dark Horse’s The Heroes of Might and Magic: 30th Anniversary Retrospective.
A legend is born
It was three decades ago that the world first met Heroes of Might and Magic. A now-iconic turn-based strategy game from New World Computing, the original game would spawn a whole series of additional games, complete with a sequel/spinoff set to hit this year with Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era. Now publisher Dark Horse and Neal Hallford, one of the original title’s creators, are set to deliver a look back on where it all began.
That trip through PC gaming history will come by way of The Heroes of Might and Magic: 30th Anniversary Retrospective, a book that’ll dive behind the scenes of the first game’s development.
When New World Computing released the original Heroes of Might and Magic in 1995, players were elated to take control of bold heroes who led vast armies composed of creatures from modest peasants to fearsome dragons. In the decades that followed, the games have only become more ambitious, featuring thrilling narratives, unforgettable art, and iconic gameplay. Now, readers can learn the secrets behind the development of each main game in the definitive turn-based strategy series through never-before-seen art, documentation, and interviews with key members of the creative teams.
