Might & Magic Heroes VII offers players a more detailed world than ever to explore and conquer, a complex economic system to master and legendary creatures to face in epic battles.

By joining the Shadow Council, available on the Might & Magic Heroes VII website, fans will be able to share their passion and enrich the game formula with their own contributions. Being part of the Shadow Council will allow fans to chat with developers, comment, share, interact and influence the content of the game, each step of the way granting them its own reward. As a remarkable start, fans will be able to vote for 2 of the 6 factions that will be available in the final game.

The story of Might & Magic Heroes VII depicts the civil war that changed the ruling dynasty of the Holy Empire. The Empress’ murder has left an empty throne, a realm in flames and too many hungry rivals intent on claiming it. The Duke Ivan calls together a prestigious council of six trusted advisors in search of a viable path for putting an end to this war of succession.

The first closed beta for Might and Magic Heroes VII has concluded with gamers playing for more than 48 000 hours and competing in more than 800,000 fights during their two weeks in Ashan. During that time, players had the opportunity to discover the unique units and gameplay of the Haven and Academy factions.

Drawing on its success, a second closed beta will take place soon. The factions available in this second beta will be chosen by players themselves via the game’s community portal: The Shadow Council. This forum offers a direct line for fans to get involved with production, as their comments and votes are taken into consideration in real time. Each member of the Shadow Council will choose two of their favorite factions: Sylvan, Dungeon, Stronghold and Necropolis, and the two most popular units will be available to play during the second closed beta in addition to Haven and Academy.

To secure access to the beta, players have to pre-order the game, or players can also register on the waitlist for a chance to enter the beta.
