Horn of the Abyss is an unofficial expansion on the same level as Armageddon's Blade and Shadow of Death.

Horn of the Abyss (or HotA) is a comprehensive expansion for Heroes of Might and Magic III, designed as a continuation of the classic AB/SoD expansions.

The project adds plenty of new features, but stays true to the formula and vision of the original game. Quality is of utmost importance in this addition to the game. This includes the careful balance changes and fixes, removal of the graphical imperfections left by the developers, and the addition of considerable amount of new content, such as new campaigns, playable factions, and map objects. The project is lore-oriented and attempts to keep connected with the original Might and Magic universe.

In 2024, the Cove faction from Horn of the Abyss was canonized by being officially adopted as one of the upcoming expansions for Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Board Game.

Unlike In the Wake of Gods-based mods, Horn of the Abyss' new towns are added to the game without replacing any existing towns. The mod requires Shadow of Death or Heroes of Might and Magic III Complete to run.

The expansion is officially available in two languages: Russian and English. However, unofficial translations of version 1.7.1 are available in Polish and Spanish.
