All heroes are there except one - the Inferno's Master Builder who's name and portrait will be based on AOH International Create a Town Contest winner, FriendOfGunnar, and that hero will make an appearance next week.

GameSpot has updated their Heroes V Video Section with three new videos. The most significant of which is the interview with Heroes V Producer Fabrice Cambounet.
