Heroes 6 is now officially announced. Something which has not really been announced yet is the fact that we’ve been working with some of you for nearly a year on the game.
Fans and players are key to us on a series such as Might andamp; Magic, so we’ve had a private forum running for a few months where we’re speaking to around 20 fans.
They have created amazing fansites since the launch of Heroes 5. They have worked on a huge fan guide for Heroes 5. They have been organizing leagues, championships and contests. They’ve been listing all maps and mods, even creating some themselves.
In this private forum, we’ve shown them early development results: screenshots, concept art, game features. They’ve given us their feedback and new sources of inspiration.
We are really happy to have developed such a relationship with those players, full of respect, reciprocation, trust.
Therefore, to thank them for all this, we have invited them at Gamescom to see the game demo only journalists can access to on Friday and Saturday last week.
11 of them could make it to Germany on time, and we had the chance to talk with them during a nice dinner after the demo. They are now able to report what they’ve seen!
Hope they enjoyed it as much as we do…
Here is the video resuming our fan day at Gamescom. They could speak with the dev team, see the trailer, the game demo and have about 10 minutes hands-on each, which is short but still, they are the first to have put their hands on it!!! We also went to eat in a nice restaurant all together at the end of the day. It was a real pleasure to have them around and speak about the game and other subjects as well :)
If you know the famous Mandamp;M fansites, you should find their preview of the game in there :)
Thank you for participating to this!
