Might and Magic Heroes VIII Second Closed Beta Starts This Week

Ubisoft today announced that the Might and Magic Heroes VII second closed beta will start on August 26th at 7am EST and last until September 2nd at 7am EST. Players that have pre-ordered the game will still have guaranteed access to the second closed beta but thanks to beta key giveaways it will be playable beyond. Might & Magic Heroes VII will be available exclusively on PC on September 29th.

This second closed beta will give players the opportunity to dive deeper into the gameplay of the Haven and Academy factions, and will give access to two extra factions voted by the community itself for the first time: Sylvan and Dungeon. In addition to the two Skirmish maps (The Dried Lands and the Bad Neighbours) playable during the first closed beta, beta testers will also be able to explore two new Skirmish maps: the Fire & Blood and the Irresponsible War. They will be able to produce resources, expand their town, recruit armies and develop their heroes in an effort to infiltrate their opponent’s empire. There is no maximum level set for the closed beta and players will have unlimited access to the content until September 2nd.
