Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Remake was revealed at Gamescom as a new iteration of the classic strategy game, featuring a fresh art style and gameplay tweaks while preserving the original HoMM3 experience. A preview play session covered the campaign prologue and the Arrogance scenario, showing four-player starts near second towns, nearby underworld entrances, and shipyards that speed early expansion. The remake arrives as Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era is in early access and slated for a 1.0 release in 2027, marking a franchise resurgence with two major HoMM projects active.

• HoMM3 Remake is the third published version of Heroes of Might and Magic III, following the original and a 2015 remaster, and retains core HoMM3 gameplay while adding a new art style and tweaks.
• Previewed content included the campaign prologue and the Arrogance scenario, a four-player map where each start sits close to a second town of the same faction, with nearby underworld entrances and shipyards for fast expansion.
• The remake was revealed at Gamescom and includes quality-of-life improvements alongside its updated visuals.
• Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era entered early access earlier this year and is scheduled to reach 1.0 in 2027, meaning two active HoMM projects will be available to players in the same period.
