Extensive Heroes of Might and Magic 7.5 mod version 1.2.9 has been released. The update introduced, among other things, a new map.
In recent years, Ubisoft has completely abandoned the Heroes of Might and Magic franchise. However, the series has not been forgotten by fans, who with the help of mods continue to develop the most popular installments. The latest fruit of this has become a new version of the expanded mod called Heroes of Might and Magic 7.5, for Might & Magic: Heroes VII.
The update is number 1.2.9 and brings many new features. First, a new siege map has been added for the Inferno faction, as well as complete underground maps (previously available in a very simplified and approximate form). Various Inferno-related visual elements have also been improved, game balance has been improved, text descriptions have been expanded, and various bugs have been fixed. Additionally, a plugin featuring the Xel and Sanctuary factions has been integrated into the main installer.

Remember that Heroes of Might and Magic 7.5 plays an intermediate role between an update and a DLC. The project improves the game by fixing bugs and improving gameplay and graphics, while offering a lot of new content, including additional creatures, abilities and cards.
Might & Magic: Heroes VII was released in September 2015, exclusively on PC. In turn, 2016 saw the release of the first and only expansion, Trial by Fire (which, by the way, requires Heroes of Might and Magic 7.5).
After the release of this DLC, Ubisoft seems to have completely abandoned the franchise; no new projects in the series have been released in the past seven years. Rumors have recently surfaced that during E3 the publisher intends to reveal a game belonging to a “botched” series, focusing on single-player gameplay. Who knows, maybe the company will finally come up with something new in the world of Might & Magic.

Another suggestion is the Unofficial Community Mod (UCP).
It should be mentioned at the end that this is not the only such project. An alternative mod is the Unofficial Community Mod (UCP). This is a suggestion for people who are not interested in new content and just want to fix technical bugs and other imperfections.
