Well if HOMM VI follows the trend as of late with games recently, I'm guessing it will have four factions initially, with one added with each expansion.
A key factor in determining the innovations in this game was their attention to the fan base, so it would make sense that they would keep Academy, as it is a staple with us fanatics.
I surely hope there's more in the initial game than just Necropolis, Inferno, and Haven.
Haha! Have you been living under a rock? 
Stronghold is in and the new one that we call so far Sanctuary, as well. Five factions, not four. But here's hoping too, that the expansions will bring more!

No need to be rude. 
And as a matter of fact, I do live under a rock - a tombstone to be exact.
I was hoping Ubi would work on introducing something new to the series.

I'm just joking with you! Yes, the new one is Sanctuary. Well, that's what we fans call it, Ubisoft hasn't revealed it yet. All we know so far about it, is through leaks. It's a water-based magic oriented faction, either neutral or good, dominant race are the Nagas.

I would actually be really mad if wizards were not in an expansion for H6, it would be ridiculous. Aside from the fact that the HOMM history/timeline greatly depends on their existence...what would we do without titans and all the others this is a must-have faction

You guys need to get it in your heads: It's going to be Sylvan and then Dungeon. Or Sylvan and Dungeon together in the first expansion.
It's simple! Just look at the timeline and see for yourselves. Keep in mind, that the events of H-VI occur at 564 YSD as it's stated in the official site too.

Why is everyone always "we must have titans and mages" "heroes isn't heroes with black dragons" "bla bla bla"? Will ypu really be so sad if some dozen creatures don't make the cut?

I'm afraid Sanctuary will play the role of the Academy now. It's going to be a magic oriented faction, and as we all know the devs strive to deliver factions that vary greatly in playing style from each other and offer a deep tactical and strategical depth, different for each. Now if Sanctuary is going to be the magic oriented faction that we all expect it to be, then it's going to be very difficult to add the Academy, and keep it completely different in playing style than the Sanctuary.
The bet is, will we like Sanctuary so much to not miss the Academy?

I wouldn't. Personally, I am of the opinion that the devs should think of a good story first and then decide how the existing factions are part of that story. And whether we get a telling of an existing story (War of Bitter Ashes/ War under the Mountains/Days of the Tears of Fire/War of the Broken Staff) or a brand new story, they should think of the story first.
Titans or Black Dragon or Knights or Barbarians do not make Heroes of Might and Magic. It is the turn-based strategy gameplay + Town/economy building + Hero development that make the game. The labels do not matter all that much.

I haven't heard of this "sanctuary" on the mmh6.com site or anywhere...where could i look at something about this faction?
and also I see your point, if theyve created a new heavily magic-oriented faction in this sanctuary then yes, theres a case as to why have wizard then...

Like I said a few posts back, what we know about it, is through leaks, nothing official yet. You may see a few low res wip scans in the artwork thread.

Perhaps they could add two factions per expansion. Adding light and dark elves at once is certainly plausible.

I've never been a big Academy fan and I really like the looks of the Sanctuary but I think that I'll still miss the wizards (in Heroes V even if they were on of my least favorite factions, I won the game because of them). Anyway, I personally want the elves to return. Even if I love the dark elves more, I would choose the Sylvan ones for an expansion.

guys just imagine for a second that we will not get Sylvan and Academy in expansion!!! Disaster isn't it??? 
But honestly i am 200% sure we will see Academy
100% for Dungeon
around 90% for Sylvan (woriied a little bit)
i have a feeling that we will see Dwarfs in Fortress.. don't know why, but i leave a big possibility..
and also we may get a new facion, but not likely..
Humans of the east have no chances at all.. IMHO

Since Naga didn't deliver a spiritual successor to Fortress like I had hoped, I want a swamp town, dammit! An actual swamp town, on swamp, with big nasty beasties and lizardmen. I could care less about Sylvan, Aca and (poser) Fortress; Dungeon could be nice but I don't really care if they're missing either, so long as there's still no swamp town.
I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!

Myself, I hope for academy, and I believe that it's likely too. The Wizard tradition is an unique tradition for the HoMM series, unlike the elves who are basely in every fantasy game or story. Also, the Wizards of the Seven cities are already mentioned everywhere on the Homm VI official site. With that said, I would have nothing against having the elves back in an expansion, and I hope that Ashan can develop it's own unique eleven tradition, hopefully without it's heroes writing a lot of bad poetry like in the campaigns.
