The game is the sequel to Heroes of Might and Magic and, despite being unrelated, it is set in the same universe as the Might and Magic saga.
The person in charge of bringing this game to life was the American director, designer, and producer Jon Van Caneghem, who also founded the company. Although the title was initially intended for DOS, it also had its versions in Windows and Mac OS.
Heroes of Might and Magic II: The Succession Wars is a tactical turn-based strategy game developed by New World Computing and published by The 3DO Company in 1996.
