We now have the culmination of last week's tease-of-a-teaser. Here is the Gamescom 2011 trailer for Might and Magic Heroes VI, establishing the game's appropriately epic struggle. We've got brother against sister, glowing undead and giant insectoid witches, even the Wilhelm scream.
I confess, I find the practice of teasing a future tease frustrating, and I'm not quite sure why the video game hype machine is so fond of this. It befuddles me. The actual "trailer" in question however, is not befuddling, but quite rousing, in an inspiring, high fantasy manner. But again. Using a tease to tease…
Publisher Ubisoft is continuing its pursuit into higher end, limited edition merch with the arrival of Ubicollectibles, things you may want to invest in if you're a die hard Assassin's Creed or Ghost Recon fan. And you live in Europe.

Something is stirring in the world of Might and Magic, and all we have to work on is this teaser trailer, which appeared earlier today on the game's Facebook page. What does it mean?

Earlier this morning, we reported Trion World Network is teaming up with the Sci-Fi channel to create an MMO based on an upcoming show, a cool idea as the show's direction is intended to evolve depending on what players do in the game. That co-development agreement is not the only thing Trion has in the works, however.
