The Steam version was supposed to get fans excited for an upcoming remake.
Ubisoft apologized via a Steam community post for selling a digital copy of Heroes of Might and Magic III – the 1999 turn-based fantasy strategy game and its three expansions – without actually including the game files in the download.
“First of all, we would like to apologize: we accidentally released the wrong package yesterday,” Ubisoft said. “We are truly sorry for this error. The issue is now resolved. We would like to thank everyone who alerted us to the issue. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your understanding and support.”
The original $10 download of the game was only 23.4 kilobytes and displayed an error message when you tried to run it, PC gamer ” wrote, sparking a slew of negative reviews for the game on Steam. Woozad can confirm that the updated download now works as promised in Ubisoft’s apology.
While an HD version of Heroes of Might and Magic III was available in online stores like Steam and GOG in the past, Ubisoft released this updated classic version as a promotion for Heroes of Might and Magic III Remakea “modern reimagining” of the game that it plans to release in 2027. The remake expands the game from PC to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, while adding updated visuals, easier access to user-generated content, and “improved planning and decision-making tools.” Hopefully Ubisoft will remember to include the game as well.
