TQ Digital has confirmed that a closed beta for the turn-based, fantasy-themed MMORPG, Heroes of Might and Magic Online is to start in early May 2010.

Licensed by Ubisoft Heroes of Might and Magic Online weaves all the classic gameplay elements from a previous iteration of the franchise, Heroes of Might and Magic III, with the updated graphics of Heroes of Might and Magic V, into a 2.5D turn-based massively multiplayer version worthy of its place in the esteemed Heroes of Might and Magic dynasty.

Chose from a variety of 8 unique factions with two additions – Conflux and Empire, still in development - develop elaborate castles that dominate the skyline of bustling metropolis, Harmondale – epicenter of trade in the sweeping Antagarichean continent - plunder resources in exhilarating missions and fortify your armies against the inevitable wars of domination that lie ahead as you carve out your own legacy like the legions of plucky adventurers before you.
