Heroes of Might & Magic MMO Confirmed

Gamasutra reported today that Ubisoft will release a web-based MMO titled "Heroes of Might and Magic Kingdoms" worldwide in spring 2008. The latest entry in the Heroes universe will be co-developed with TQ Digital Entertainment:

Although the long-running fantasy series remains only a niche franchise in the West, it is Ubisoft's best selling title in China. As a result, plans for an online version of the game were first revealed in October, when the game was known merely as Heroes Of Might And Magic Online.

The title will be a co-development with Chinese developer TQ Digital Entertainment, a subsidiary of publisher NetDragon. The game will remain primarily a strategy title, albeit now set in a persistent high fantasy world where users can rule their own virtual kingdoms or command large armies.
