Although a September 6 release date for Might & Magic Heroes VI was reaffirmed just two weeks ago, a post on the Ubisoft Forums reveals a delay for the turn-based strategy sequel, which is now expected on October 13 (thanks Gamer's Hell). Here's word:

During the first phase of the Beta you were very active and provided us with very valuable feedback: your suggestions about general balance, factions balance and bug reports were very useful to us. Thank you!

Thus, we took the decision to delay the release of Might & Magic Heroes VI in order to secure a bit more time for the dev team to take into account your comments and deliver the best quality game.

Might & Magic Heroes VI will be released on October 13th.

The Beta will reopen on August 16th. All fans who preordered the game via a regular retailer or won a key in a community contest will be able to play. During this second phase of the Beta more maps (solo and multi) and features will be available. We will keep you informed about it in our further news.
