Heroes Chronicles is an episodic series of level packs for Heroes of Might and Magic III, a turn-based strategy video game. Eight installments were released from September 2000 to June 2001, developed by Jon Van Caneghem through New World Computing and published by the 3DO Company. Heroes Chronicles tells the story of Tarnum, a barbarian judged unworthy of Paradise due to his crimes. He is made immortal and sent by the Ancestors to aid in various quests throughout the centuries as punishment. Intended for newcomers to the franchise, they are low difficulty campaigns that were marketed at a reduced price, and do not require the original game to play. Two of the Chronicles chapters, The World Tree and The Fiery Moon, were freely available as downloads from the 3DO website at the time, to players who already owned a number of the commercially released chapters. Chronicles' reception was mixed as it was perceived as a cash-grab, and lacked the main game's multiplayer support. The complete series was re-released through GOG.com in June 2011.
