Ofc they do this for money, "earn as much you can with lowest possible effort" is their motto of everyday.

Sadly this is Restoration of Erathia HD remake, not H3 Complete. So Ubisoft is gonna sell the expansion packs separately, and get paid 3 times for one game. This is not worth it unless you really need to play on tablet. Probably GOG complete version of the game will be a lot cheaper that this.

Allegedly, they don't even have the source code for the expansions :(
To quote:
Community team note: But why only RoE? To understand the origin of the project and its development we need to go back to 2003. At that time we asked New World Computing to retrieve their archives for all the Might and Magic titles. We found tons of documentation and data but regarding Heroes III we had nothing but the usable source code of Heroes III Restoration of Erathia.

Well then that makes it even more of a waste of money, imo.
It's weird though, that NWC didn't have the sources of the expansions. Apparently they don't even have original 3D models of creatures, otherwise they would not be redrawing them frame by frame.

I think the 3rd was my favourite but I don't think I'd buy it again.

Uplay drm incoming! On the other hand you can always get HOMM3 not-HD from GoG .
Though for my taste graphics are aging well... but prolly on higher res(higher than my 1920x1080) they might need remake but not sure.
Now I am personally interested in their tablet versions so gonna wait and see what kind of price tag they will put for it.

HoMM 3 is definitely in the top 10 of my favorite games of all time. I would even consider buying it, but without the expansions? And no WoG? That would be like paying (yet again - I bought RoE, Armageddon's Blade for full price and later HoMM3 Complete for a discounted price) for a downgraded version. Better graphics are nice, but HoMM 3 is awesome mainly because of its gameplay.

So apparently Ubisoft will release HD remake of HoMM3. Clicky
Seems like they are redrawing every sprite by hand into higher resolution. It doesn't look like they are going to change anything else (except integrating Steam lobby).
Do you think this remake is worth it? I don't.
We already have amazing HD mod by Baratorch Clicky2 that adds a lot of features and fixes a lot of bugs. That is way more appealing than a simple reskin.
