Weeks after the announcement of an HD edition of Heroes of Might & Magic III comes news that fan-made expansion Horn of the Abyss has been updated. See the announcement for a full patch list. Curious but not sure what Horn of the Abyss is? Here is the summary from the official thread:

So, what is Horn of the Abyss?
HotA is a global add-on for Heroes of might and magic III that extends (and fixes if needed) classical gameplay elements and adds some of its own. On a more conceptual level – HotA is an attempt to continue legendary series RoE-AB-SoD as close to the original as it could have been done by NWC team, if only they had more desire, resources or even understanding of their own game. We try to keep classical h3 spirit in every tiny detail from code nuances to overall gameplay. Be welcome to check if we’ve succeeded

Damn!!! The title of the newsbit is "M&M III - Horn of the Abyss Updated". I felt a momentary excitement that there is an HD remake project for original M&M 3. :)
