But, it’s not? Unless you’re aware of something I’m not, this game is published by Hooded Horse, and developed by Team Unfrozen.

Its a Ubisoft game… What’s the catch?

Well I feel stupid. I’m pretty oblivious to homm and don’t really follow it. My bad for not looking too deep into it. Reason I assumed it was a Ubisoft game is because I saw somewhere on YouTube Ubisoft promoting the 30th anniversary. And Ubisoft is the current IP holder of homm. I never in my life thought Ubisoft would license out an IP they own to a non Ubisoft team.

No, you’re fine, I totally understand the mistake. I AM a pretty big HoMM fan and I was unaware that they had licensed out the IP as well, so I can’t blame you for not knowing.

Pretty sure they did that with all Homm games? Their first, HommV was done by nival interactive.

The homm IP I’m pretty sure was acquired. Yeah Ubisoft didn’t make homm, but they bought the IP long ago
Karjalan@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
Yeah, I mean they bought the ip, but they haven’t actually developed any homm games, just produced it via other development companies.
Unless I’m misunderstanding something

Yes.

I realize when you search Steam there’s a lot of successful iterations of the classic Fire Emblem formula. Makes me wonder if any teams have done the same for HOMM3. I remember there was the fanmade expansion for it, it seems viable to invent a story/system from scratch.

They changed only 2 days ago before release so people no boycott it. Probably Hooded Horse is just middle man. Image
