Ubisoft Shanghai Working on Heroes of Might and Magic 6?

According to a recent job listing over at Gamasutra, Ubisoft Shanghai are currently looking for a "Lead Game Designer" for "Heroes of MM." Wait ... did I just say "Heroes of MM? Why yes I did, which surely has to be Heroes of Might and Magic.

The listing states that "Ubisoft Entertainment Shanghai is looking for an experienced and talented Lead Game Designer to develop a brand new fantasy RPG title for the PS3, Xbox 360, PC, and Mac." Fantasy RPG? Sounds like Heroes of Might and Magic to me.

The fully fledged sixth title in the Heroes of Might and Magic series was rumoured to be in development in 2007. Instead that turned out to be a persistent browser based MMO set in the fantasy world and nothing else came of the sixth standalone version ... until now.

The Shanghai developers are looking for someone with 5 years experience in the games industry and at "least two AAA RPG titles in a senior or lead game designer role" under their belt.

We've reached out to Ubisoft for a response, but at the time of publishing have yet to hear back. We'll mark this one down as a rumour for now and act with an air of caution, but chances are this is another inadvertent game confirmation via a job listing. When will they learn?
