First gems aren’t needed to cast spells, a system that was not present in later games, and second, party characters don’t age. We still kept some ideas of the later games, notably our skill system is similar (though not identical) to the skill system featured in Might & Magic VI to VII.ĮB: There are a couple of things we didn’t keep from the Xeen games. Several pitches were made, more or less faithful to the original games, but we finally decided to go for a gameplay similar to the World of Xeen episodes. Which previous games have influenced Might & Magic X?ĮB: Since there have been several “eras” as far as the gameplay of the series is concerned, we had to think hard about the kind of game we wanted to make. The specifics may vary from one game to the next, for instance Might & Magic VI introduced free movement while the earlier games were grid-based, but these basic ingredients were always there and they are still at the core of Might & Magic X: Legacy. What are the essential features of a Might & Magic game?ĮB: To us, Might & Magic RPGs are about a party of adventurers exploring a large world in first-person view, meeting a variety of characters, visiting cities, and of course, exploring dungeons and fighting monsters in turn-based combat. It was hard for us to be sure there was an audience for such titles, but many Kickstarter successes in all those old-school IPs and genres, and also the great interest aroused by old school games, have proved the audience is there. Ubisoft creative director, Erwan le Breton (EB): To be honest, this title was in our minds for a long time.
