It would be very nice, if JVC really did another M&M game. I wonder what correlation between Kreegans and Devils in Ashan is? And if team will develop this old story of Ancient and Kreegans at least in hints.

Jon Van Caneghem. He is a legend in the industry, nothing less. What 3DO did to him was nothing less than a crime as well. You start milking your franchises and you leave them dry.

Heroes of Might and Magic II as well as Might and Magic VI were the games that turned me into a gamer. Not DOOM, not Mario, not Sonic, nor Warcraft. From then on I went back in the series and played them all, even though I didn't finish them at the time (since I was so young). They're still some of my favorite games.

I know Jon would be the best critic and explain the best course to fine tune the game.

I remember the complaints about him making too many games with the same engine, but inretrospect I wish he could have made a couple of more with the MM3-5 engine. Thanks for your contribution to the RPG scene, Jon!

I don't see JVC able to help make a new M&M game. Ubisoft did a total world and lore reboot, he created the old worlds and his new world is completely different. Also he works for EA now and I don't think EA would let him. The big publishers tend to be sticklers for contract and cheap with free time.

"and visit the Ancients home world… :P"
That would have been so awesome. Now I hate 3DO more than ever for ruining NWC and therefore the MM-Series.

It would definitely be great to see JVC as a leading M&M XI and HoMMVII game developer. I bet he acumulated best ideas for the M&M sequel for the last 10 years, and you just can't get a better deal than a series creator himself.

— 10. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MIGHT & MAGIC X SO FAR?

— Very cool!

Brevity is the soul of wit :D I'd prefer more detailed answer.

..and a portal opens up in the world of Ashan that leads to Xeen. Later in the story you find out your actions in Xeen lead to it splitting into the light and dark side. So all along Ashan took place before everything in Xeen.
That could be an interesting story plot :)

Gosh - Over a decade ago I used to play counterstrike in the same clan as JVC. Definitely some good memories playing the early MM games. I would have loved to see where the story had gone had the IP not been sold off.

JVC has been captured by EA? That explains much.

Please Jon, go to Ubisoft assemble back the good people that worked on previous HoMM games wich are my favorite to this day.Bring back the Rob King.
NOw that the Command and Conquer team got disbanded wich is sad but the people want a full Generals 2 type game.You've got new free time and as CnC fans want a proper sequel instead of all the experimental CnC games.Heroes of Might and Magic fans want a proper fully realised HoMM without having hundreds of features cut and rushed like HoMM VI was.

Let me just say this. I don't claim to be an expert in computer stuff, Mr. Van Caneghem. But I can tell you what I am is a writer. And if you ever decide to make another Might and Magic game and/or an HOMM game, if you need a good writer to help come up with ideas within the Might and Magic universe to make the games even better, I'm your man! And having bought Might and Magic X on STEAM and played it I agree it is a cool game.
