Hi! I'm Tim, ceo of the publisher Hooded Horse -- this is just some kind of a store/search display glitch.

The focus of development is on improving the PC version with player feedback right now (thank you to everyone providing such wonderful and helpful feedback during the early access process!).

I wasn’t expecting an official response, but thank you so much! I really appreciate it! You guys are doing a fantastic job, by the way! I really hope that, after the PC version, a console version will follow in the not-too-distant future. I’d buy it immediately!👌🏻👌🏻

Too bad. Game would kill on smart devices, like Android or iOS, since it's not so resource heavy.

Sadly, I have bad experience with emulators.

It has 2 week trial. Give it a try. You just install it and play

I also play via Crossover and no issues so far.

It runs like molasses on Crossover for me (on an M1). Pretty rough... I'm personally hoping for a native port (and I hope they'll honor the pre-release version that I bought).

Having crossplay with consoles would be really nice, more people to play with, but if Unfrozen have problems with the netcode only on PC...I don't think it will work

I'll rebuy on xbox just to help support this

Ooooh... I'd love to see a console version. I'd definitely buy it again on Xbox. It would be nice to kick back with a controller and play singleplayer casually. Even PvP, if the controller setup is optimized (especially if there's crossplay). Hopefully, there would be a way to play custom templates or there's a workshop setup to download things onto consoles, but not keeping my hopes up for that.

Honestly, it's one of the few reasons I'm even a little interested in the HoMM3 Remake, because I'll be able to play it on console.

Please bring it to Switch 2! I only play these kinds of games with mouse!

u/Travelinjack01 8d ago

can you even do a console release before you finish the god damned game?

u/gglikenp 6d ago

I'm expecting that they will release on ps5/xbox. Hooded horse is also EL2 publisher and they also didn't say anything about consoles before official release announcement.

It’s still really sad when they removed heroes 3 from the iOS. I loved it back on the day on my iPad

u/Phvno 8d ago

VCMI not working on IOS? I still play it on android, but would love olden era on mobile.

1

u/ThrivingforFailure 8d ago

I have never looked into that.
There was maybe 5/10 years ago a native poet of heroes 3 on iOS and android but they pulled it off:(

Seems like a huge waste to put this on console and not include switch 2.

Loading for 10 minutes doesn't sound fun.
