It's already been a good day for Ubisoft and now they have announced work has begun on a new web-based game set in the Heroes of Might and Magic universe. Heroes of Might and Magic Kingdoms, is being developed for a Spring 2008 worldwide launch.
Heroes of Might and Magic Kingdoms is a strategy game set in a persistent version of the heroic-fantasy world of Heroes of Might and Magic. Thousands of players will be able to rule their virtual kingdoms, lead gigantic armies against each other, master the trades or create legendary heroes. The game requires no download or installation, only an Internet connection. In addition, players can play at their own pace; from 10 minutes to multiple-hour sessions.
“This is a new type of game for Ubisoft, one that allows you to jump into a rich and complex universe just with your Web browser,” said Serge Hascoët, Ubisoft's Chief Creative Officer. “Heroes of Might and Magic Kingdoms will open a wide door to the Might and Magic universe, allowing players to immerse themselves within it unlike ever before.”

Web-based games have historically ranged from utter crap to pretty good. With a developer as talented as Ubisoft entering this space, maybe we can expect Web-based games to reach the next level.
