Employees of the Bombora publishing house have announced the start of pre-orders for Evgeny Peklo's book “Heroes of Might and Magic. A Turn-Based History of the Immortal Series”. Those wishing to purchase this edition will have to pay 1,209 rubles for it.
In the book, the author traces the entire journey of the franchise: from King's Bounty and Jon Van Caneghem's early experiments to the triumph of the third installment, studio changes, and subsequent stages in the development of the famous game series.
Readers will discover how one of the most famous turn-based strategy series grew out of early ideas and initial projects. The edition tells not only about the games themselves, but also about the events surrounding them: the transfer of the franchise to other developers and copyright holders, audience reactions, and the immense popularity of “Heroes” in Russia.
A special place in the book “Heroes of Might and Magic. A Turn-Based History of the Immortal Series” is dedicated to the creation of the fifth installment involving the Russian studio Nival, as well as further attempts to restore the franchise's former influence.
The book will certainly appeal to fans of Heroes of Might and Magic and those interested in video game history, the evolution of turn-based strategies, and the inner workings of the gaming industry. The release of the book is scheduled for November 2026.
