Dear Heroes,
We are happy to inform you that the patch 1.3 is now ready to be released and will be available tonight by 1 a.m GMT. To download it you need to connect to the game, download of the patch will start automatically.
We would like to take this opportunity to confirm that Black Hole is no longer working on Heroes VI, and I am very happy to introduce you to the studio we are now collaborating with: Limbic Entertainment, from Germany. You might have noticed this name from the credits of Heroes VI: Limbic worked with Black Hole during the final stages of Heroes VI’s development. Our commitment to improve and enrich the game remains unaltered, and Limbic has joined us to support the post-launch of Heroes VI. Limbic’s team are experts on the Heroes’ system, so it's only a matter of getting up to speed on a different portion of the project.
Next patches are in work as communicated a few weeks ago. We will let you know soon what we have in store for you. Stick around!
We are currently not only working on the patches, but also on the much-awaited town-screens and new content. We’ll tell you more about these later.
But let’s get back to the patch 1.3 which will be released tonight!
