Not wanting to waste too much time & effort, Ubisoft issued a short statement saying that the decision to delay was made to ensure the best quality of the game.

Much to the dismay of pre-order customers who ordered the game already a few months ago, and were charged instantly, and now see the game, which was previously already delayed and promised in June, pushed back another few months.

The Might & Magic Heroes VI adventure starts 400 years before the events in Heroes of Might & Magic V, showcasing a family of heroes in a thrilling, epic story where Angels plot to revive an unfinished war.

A legendary Archangel general killed during the war of the Elder races returns to life with a vengeance. Under the cover of preparations for an upcoming Demon invasion, he unites the peoples of Ashan to eradicate his ancient enemies. However, he underestimates the power of the all too human dynasty of the Griffin Dukes.
