Archon Studio recently revealed that “Heroes of Might & Magic III: The Board Game” will be featured on Gamefound with three new expansions. This announcement follows a successful initial Kickstarter campaign that garnered support from nearly 27,000 backers, accumulating €3,834,885.
In response to high demand and the closure of the late pledge option post-Kickstarter, Archon Studio has opted to launch a subsequent campaign on Gamefound. This move aims to provide access to the original game along with the new expansions: Stronghold, Conflux, and Cove. These expansions are set to be released simultaneously, broadening the gameplay options for all backers.
Interested individuals can visit the campaign page early to secure a special “Crag Hack” bust, adding a unique item to their collection.
The expansions introduce diverse gameplay elements. Stronghold focuses on power and fortitude, Conflux emphasizes magic and elemental control, and Cove brings navigation and tactical maritime engagements. Additionally, the gameplay will feature new mechanics such as underground areas accessible through specific passages, and portals that facilitate rapid movement across the map.
The team at Archon Studio shared their personal connections to the game, which has influenced their development approach. Michał Tukan, the project manager, noted his longstanding engagement with the game dating back to his first computer in 2000. Alex Kubiak, responsible for solo campaigns, discussed the challenges and rewards of crafting a narrative that remains true to the original game’s essence. Kamil Białkowski, expressing his enduring passion for the series, highlighted the importance of community support in maintaining the game’s relevance.
