Shortly after the formation of a fan petition asking for a delay of the PC version of Heroes of Might and Magic V, Gamespot reported Ubisoft had delayed the game's release date. While other internet news sites have also picked up this information the petition creators have vowed to continue with their protest until Ubisoft makes an official announcement. Until an announcement is made the various fan sites involved with the petition will remove information about the game from their sites.

As representatives of the online HoMM Community, we, the pact members, strongly believe that Heroes of Might and Magic 5 will not be of sufficient standard and quality if the release is rushed for March 2006. As admirers of HoMM series and supporters of the current Heroes 5 potential, we will not tolerate a blow delivered by the release of an incomplete and unbalanced game.

As an action of protest, following this announcement, no news or updates will be posted on our web sites. Additionally, Heroes of Might and Magic 5 information will be removed from our web sites. We request that Ubisoft officially confirms that the release date of Heroes of Might and Magic 5 will be delayed past March 2006, for a period of time sufficient to develop a balanced and fully functional game. We do not regard the announcement made on Gamespot as true until Ubisoft issues official confirmation.
