And then I'll quote a little from this blog entry that seeks to explain why the team is developing a new party-based RPG within the venerable series in the first place:
What is MMX about?
An RPG like they used to be but better!
Might & Magic X Legacy is a first person, party-based 3D RPG, with a true (retro-feel).
With tile-based movement and turn-based combat, MMX is along the same lines of the early Might & Magic games, but is updated to today's standards of accessibility.
When starting out this project, we took a close look at fan comments and shaped the early designs accordingly.
The main components of the game were shaped together with Ubisoft, which are:
- Control party
- Explore world
- Fight enemies
- Epic adventure
Plus, after researching and analysing lots of fan comments, we added the following aspects:
- Tier-based skill system
- Embedding the epic adventure in a nice story line
- Non-linear world/dungeons
- Turn based fight system
What made previous Might & Magic RPGs so great?
And which of the features that many fans liked so much will make it into MMX? Here are some examples:
- Ambience & atmosphere in a free open world
- Party management
- Interacting with the environment
- (Who will?) questions
- Riddles
