Might & Magic X - Legacy is a singleplayer first-person RPG game in the Might and Magic series.

The game's support ended two months after release.[2] It was delisted from online stores in June 2021 after its official server was shut down, which also caused all content from the game apart from the first act inaccessible (including DLC) without workarounds.[3] This was resolved on October 20, 2021, when the game was relisted and patched not to depend on the deactivated service, with the DLC being distributed for free.[4]

Game suffers from numerous bugs which hamper play.[5] It suffers from constant frame drops and stuttering in outdoor areas and towns.

General information

The game can be modded by editing some files[6] and includes a 'modding kit' for use with Unity (available for free).[7]
