Trailer certainly looked much better than I would have expected.
Who's the developer again?

Ubisoft - Trailer Announces Might and Magic X
- Thread starter Warmark
- Start date
I certainly didn't see that one coming!
Now all I need to know in order to get fairly hyped is:
- Will there be a "Fly" spell?
- Can we swap between TB and RT combat like in MM6-8?
If both are a yes, consider me excited.

the trailer looks promising indeed.but i'm a little bit worried about this "new rules" at the end of it.i don't have a problem with games evolving but the last years "new rules" usually means simplified in order to be more appealing to a larger crowd.in any case if the elements that made M&M famous like the large variety of items,promotion quests,no lvl cap etc are here too than this can be a really good game and a very nice surprise for all of the old fans.

The webpage is up and there are currently 3 screenshots which look pretty lovely!
The screenshots are devoid of UI elements though.

Agree - all the artwork shown so far looks outstanding for this kind of game with just the right balance between realism and painterly styles. And it's quite reminiscent of earlier M&Ms too.
Back when I was originally playing Ultima 7 Serpent's Isle I was never able to finish it because I always ran into a bug that prevented me from continuing the game after a certain point. I was never able to get any further until modern times with Exult.
PS. I hope this is half as good and M&M 3-5 since at that it would make it one of my most favorite games of all time. I just wish they would have done this a few years ago and put Arkane on it.

Welp, when it rains, it pours. Where were you old-school games hiding the last 10 years?
Give me Sandro and the world will be mine!!!!!!! HAHAHAHA
To a degree 'old school' is a bit over done this year. I worry it might become over saturated. Having said this I wouldn't mind an updated wizardry 8.
Might and Magic 2 is also my favorite. I played it for like a full year. Still have the book and disks for M&M1. The graph paper is in my closet somewhere 
. I am off to the Inner Sanctum.

For those wanting to cap their enthusiasm, just remember that we've heard a very similar pitch before--that game was called MM9.
I worry that the game will crumble under the expectations. Think of how long MM6 and MM7 were. For that matter, by today's standards MM8 would be considered a long game. Assuming that Ubi and Limbic don't screw up the gameplay formula too badly (not a sure bet by any means), what are the odds that they also give us a coherent 60-80 hours of content?
High hopes and all, but there's just so many ways for them to screw this up.

I'm with you Maylander, but if it is step-based I don't see a fly spell forthcoming. But I'm still excited and maybe the next Might & Magic game will be like mm6-8. And considering there was "NO" Might and Magic game on the horizon as little as 3 days ago . . . consider me stunned.
