GamespyDaily has some news about the upcoming aptches for HoMM 4 and the Expansion Pack, directly from New World Computing's Christian Vanover:
Our first and foremost priority right now is finishing a pair of patches for Heroes IV. The first patch is nearly done and will address technical issues, the second will add multiplayer support and will follow shortly thereafter. Where possible, one or both patches will include new game-enhancing features (such as improved AI or a combat grid, for example).
At the same time we are also beginning work on an Expansion Pack for Heroes IV. As we usually do, the Expansion will include several new campaigns, a slew of new maps, plus any tweaks to the system that we feel would enhance gameplay and balance. At this time I don't have any release date information, but I'm sure our PR department at 3DO will be making a more formal announcement soon enough." |
