The privileged white men over at Rock Paper Shotgun apparently received exclusive permission to post a new trailer for Might & Magic X Legacy. Check it out:



That CGI intro kinda reminds me of Icewind Dale 2's opening. The game looks like a Grimrock clone at first, but then at 1:25 it goes outdoors and becomes MAJESTIC. I like it.

The really interesting bit, however, is at the end, where it's revealed that the game will be available for purchase on Monday(!), as an Early Access title. The Early Access version will contain the game's first act, and those who buy it will receive an automatic upgrade to the game's Deluxe Digital Edition upon its final release. The Deluxe Edition will include various goodies, such as free access to the game's first DLC, an exclusive dungeon, a free copy of Might & Magic VI, and "Ultimate Adventurer Status" (whatever that means). A Deluxe Boxed Edition containing all of that, plus the obligatory cloth map and more, will be available exclusively from Ubisoft's own Uplay platform.

Last but not least, I'm happy to inform that the folks at Ubisoft have been kind enough to provide us with a preview copy of the game. Expect an official Codex preview of Might & Magic X sometime in the near future.

Update: According to an article at GameStar.de, the final game is planned for release in early 2014.

Hmmm, wonder if Uplay is required on Steam version -- I'm guessing yes.

I get why the don't want to just bend over and take it up the ass from Steam but I've always thought two layers of DRM -- especially when they're online/platform varieties -- was laughable overkill. At least EA just flat out doesn't put their new games on Steam.

Any idea what the price point on this is going to be? $20ish?

And even more especially when some kids from the internet are going to crack them in three days tops, anyway. I wonder if these guys are making a token effort to justify their jobs or if they genuinely don't know the "MOAR DRM!!!" strategy doesn't work.

It happens because they're afraid of getting sued by shareholders.

RPS said the game comes out in september this year, but the nazi site says it's going to come out at the beginning of 2014. So which one is it?

I prefer grid based movement with no smoothing, I hope it can be disabled in the options

This. It quickly became annoying in Grimrock when backtracking or covering longer distances, which this game will have plenty of, considering it has outdoor areas and town(s).
