Heroes of Might and Magic 2, Heroes Chronicles, and a legendary crystal!
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!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.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!Check out this month’s additions at glance: Heroes of Might and Magic 2: Gold Edition Heroes Chronicles: All Chapters Time Commando Dungeons & Dragons: Krynn Series Rise of the Triad: Dark War Spycraft: The Great Game The Humans Bundle PushoverLet’s make these games live forever!
