Dark Horse Books, in collaboration with Ubisoft, have just announced details of The Heroes of Might and Magic: 30th Anniversary Retrospective, set for release this Autumn. Written by game designer, filmmaker, author and former developer of New World Computing, the original creators of Might and Magic, Neal Hallford (Betrayal at Krondor, Dungeon Siege), the hardcover book takes fans of the turn-based strategy fantasy game behind the scenes of the making of each Heroes of Might and Magic installment.

Here’s the official announcement:

When New World Computing released the original Heroes of Might and Magic in 1995, players were elated to take control of bold heroes who led vast armies composed of creatures from modest peasants to fearsome dragons.

Now, readers can learn the secrets behind the development of each main game in the definitive turn-based strategy series through never-before-seen art, documentation, and interviews with key members of the creative teams.
