More Heroes games in the GOG Preservation Program!
The GOG Preservation Program welcomes more titles from one of the most iconic strategy series of all time: Heroes of Might and Magic. With timeless classics and a one-of-a-kind preservation experiment, this update is a tribute to generations of turn-based tacticians!
A crystal forged to preserve memories
This month, we’re unveiling something truly unique: the first video game ever preserved on the world’s most durable data-storage medium: a 5D optical crystal.
Created in collaboration with SPhotonix - the very same experts whose technology starred in the recent Mission Impossible movie - this futuristic “crystal coin” can allegedly survive billions of years, extreme conditions, and even a trip through an oven.
On it, we saved one of the greatest gaming gems of all time: Heroes of Might and Magic 3: Complete.
But with that item, comes a lesson - even the most resilient material isn’t a guarantee of eternal preservation. Because nothing is preserved; everything is being preserved. Without care and effort, even the strongest storage fades into obscurity. That’s why the GOG Preservation Program exists: to not only save games, but to keep them accessible and alive.
Heroes of Might and Magic saga expands
We’re also proud to announce that Heroes of Might and Magic 2: Gold Edition officially joins the GOG Preservation Program, for you to now enjoy the most complete and updated version available.
Joining it is a lesser-known gem: Heroes Chronicles: All Chapters. Originally released as a collection of eight episodic campaigns, Heroes Chronicles is a story-driven spin-off of Heroes of Might and Magic 3 - all chapters are now preserved and ready for new and returning fans alike.
Meanwhile, Heroes of Might and Magic 5: Bundle receives a major language update in our catalog, now available with Czech, Hungarian, and Simplified Chinese language support!
