It has been announced that the mobile game "Might and Magic Elemental Guardians" will be shutting down. This news comes as a disappointment to many fans of the game, who have invested time and effort into building up their teams and progressing through the various levels. The game, which was developed and published by Ubisoft, provided players with an immersive and strategic experience. Players could collect and train a variety of elemental creatures, which they could then use to battle against other players or computer-controlled opponents. The game was known for its colorful and vibrant graphics, as well as its deep and complex gameplay mechanics. However, despite its initial success, it seems that "Might and Magic Elemental Guardians" was not able to maintain a large enough player base to remain viable.

OK, I didn't even watch this. this wonderful "fast-paced Role Playing Game set in the well-established medieval fantasy world of Might & Magic" , but can anyone, who watched it and played Creature Quest confirm or deny, if is it a copy of JVC's game? Or maybe CQ is a copy of another game? (Mobile games are not my kind of games)

I can't watch the video either, this looks freaking ugly and certainly not as tactical, don't compare it to Creature Quest.

I propose to draw a line under the series at Clash of Heroes and just collectively ignore everything Ubisoft does after that point to focus HC on the actual Might and Magic games and their mods, King's Bounty, Creature Quest and other projects of JVC lol

Original story (03/15): The Might & Magic fantasy RPG series is one of the longest running console and PC video game franchises. Today, Ubisoft announced it is bringing the series over to smartphones with the worldwide launch of Might & Magic: Elemental Guardians on May 31 for Android and iOS. The game was soft launched in limited markets about a year ago.

The first Might & Magic game launched for the Apple II way back in 1986 by New World Computing. More games were released in the series, even after the developer was acquired in 1996 by The 3DO Company. Later, 3DO shut down and the rights to the Might & Magic franchise were purchased by Ubisoft, who released a number of PC, console and mobile games since then.

Might & Magic: Elemental Guardians was developed by Ubisoft Barcelona Mobile specifically for Android and iOS. Players will have to assemble a team of characters to fight in tactical strategy RPG battles. Over 400 creatures will be available to either collect for your team, or to fight against in matches. Those creatures can also evolve over time to gain new powers and abilities, and you can battle other people worldwide in PvP matches.

The game also promised to have augmented reality features. You can take pictures of yourself with your team’s creatures side-by-side with this AR mode, along with a way to watch matches in some kind of AR view. The game will also have special live events, and you can join in-game Guilds to go on special co-op adventures with friends. If you go to the official Might & Magic website, you can pre-register to get an alert when Elemental Guardians goes live, and get an in-game reward as well.

What are Ubisoft working on - A look at their studios

After a pretty quiet 2022, at least compared to what they have done in the past, Ubisoft was poised to have a really big 2023 and then the bad news hit, Skull and Bones would be delayed again and three more titles would be cancelled, joining the four from last year.

With all that bad news, you might think there is not a lot going on for the studio any more, but you would be wrong, there is still a lot to look forward too. So let us take a look and see what we can work out.

However, despite its initial success, it seems that "Might and Magic Elemental Guardians" was not able to maintain a large enough player base to remain viable. The exact reasons for the game's shutdown have not been specified, but it is likely that factors such as competition from other mobile games and a decline in interest from players played a role. Fans of "Might and Magic Elemental Guardians" expressed their disappointment and sadness upon hearing the news.

Series known to them: Growtopia, CSI series

Since 2012, this studio has been supporting the release of Growtopia. 2022 saw the studio keep the content coming for this game, which now has over 35 million registered players. Once again in 2022 the studio and game supported the local Operation Smile in the UAE. The big news from the studio was the release of Clash of Beasts onto mobile devices last year, bringing strategy to mobile, that combines with 3d fantasy. With both games getting updates throughout the year, you can expect that to be the trend in 2023.

Many took to social media to share their memories and experiences with the game, as well as asking for an explanation from the developers. In response to the shutdown, Ubisoft has assured players that they will be able to use any remaining in-game currency until the game officially closes. However, the ability to make in-game purchases has already been disabled. While the closure of "Might and Magic Elemental Guardians" is certainly a disappointment for fans, it serves as a reminder of the ever-changing nature of the gaming industry. Games come and go, and it is up to players to adapt and find new experiences to fill the void left by their favorite games. As the mobile gaming market continues to evolve, it is likely that we will see more games meet the same fate as "Might and Magic Elemental Guardians." However, new games will also arise, providing players with fresh opportunities for entertainment and adventure. It is a cycle that has been repeating itself since the earliest days of gaming and will likely continue into the future..

Reviews for "The impact of Might and Magic Elemental Guardians in the mobile gaming industry"

- John - 1 star - I was really disappointed with the shutdown of Might and Magic Elemental Guardians. I was a dedicated player and spent a lot of time and money building up my collection of creatures. It feels like a complete waste now that the game is gone. It's frustrating to invest so much into a game only to have it shut down with no warning or compensation. Definitely not happy with this decision.

- Sarah - 2 stars - I had high hopes for Might and Magic Elemental Guardians, but unfortunately, it fell short for me. The gameplay became repetitive and monotonous after a while, and there weren't enough updates or new content to keep me engaged. The shutdown didn't come as a surprise to me, as it seemed like the developers had lost interest in improving the game. Overall, I was left feeling underwhelmed and unsatisfied.

- Mike - 1 star - I found the shutdown of Might and Magic Elemental Guardians to be incredibly frustrating. The game had a lot of potential, but the developers failed to deliver on their promises. Bugs and glitches were constantly present, and the customer support was unresponsive. It's disheartening to see a game with so much promise just disappear without any explanation or communication from the developers. I definitely do not recommend this game or any future games from this developer.

- Emily - 2 stars - The shutdown of Might and Magic Elemental Guardians was a major letdown for me. I had invested a significant amount of time and effort into the game, only to have it abruptly end. The lack of communication and transparency from the developers was highly disappointing. It would have been nice to receive some sort of compensation or transfer of progress to another game. Overall, I feel like my investment was wasted and I won't be supporting this developer again.
