Might & Magic Heroes VI Delayed

Ubisoft has pushed back the next edition of the strategy franchise from its planned June launch until September 8th.

Might & Magic Heroes VI, in addition to being a stupid rebranding of a long-running series (why throw away 20 years of the Heroes of Might & Magic name? I will never forgive you, Ubisoft), is a significant departure from the franchise's traditional gameplay. Many aspects of the game are stripped down to their core designs, like the town interface being simplified to a single screen.

There are few series that I love more than Heroes of Might & Magic. Even though this is from yet another developer, I'm cautiously optimistic about the game. I wish I had more to go on than my gut, though, and delays are rarely a good sign.
