When Ubisoft acquired the rights to the Might and Magic franchise for $1.3 million from 3DO in 2003, fans were elated to see that their favorite fantasy franchise would not be buried like its creator. Deciding to take an action/RPG spin to the franchise, Ubisoft contacted Arkane Studios to handle development on Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. It may be a daunting task for Arkane Studios, since they’re a relatively new company, but don’t let that fool you. Their debut title, Ark Fatalis, was a solid dungeon RPG.
