Pre-order for the board game strategy "Heroes III": Adventures Beyond the Ethereal Gates is now open

This summer, players will once again embark on a world of ancient magic, forgotten ruins, and endless wars, as the board game strategy "Heroes III" is released. Factions from this game can be mixed with factions from previous installments of the series.

Hobby World publishing house has opened pre-orders for the board game strategy "Heroes III" for 2–4 players. It can currently be purchased for 1490 rubles. In this project, users will lead one of six unique factions.

Myconids spread mycelium across regions, hindering opponents' movement, and their structures transform into warriors. Werewolves can accelerate under the cover of the wolf's night, which they summon themselves (their army is sustained by fresh meat).

Archons start the game with ready-made buildings but must account for the destructive influence of magical flows. Lizardmen rely on ancestral spirits, allowing them to peacefully negotiate with monsters and fortresses. Dark Elves gradually grow stronger, cultivating warriors in cocoons and altering building properties with webs. Cyclops lead a furious herd capable of deterring opponents, weakening monsters, and assisting in other activities.

Over 16 rounds, players will move across the map, capture fortresses, find ancient artifacts, gather resources, fight monsters, and unlock new opportunities for their faction. Most of these actions earn gamers victory points, and at the end of the game, the one with the most points will become the ruler of the fantasy world.

The board game "Heroes III" is expected to be in stock at the end of July 2026.
