Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era is gearing up for an early access launch on Steam in the second quarter of 2025. At its debut, players can expect to dive into a rich gaming experience with six distinct factions, three captivating single-player modes, and three competitive multiplayer modes. Ubisoft, a renowned name in gaming, is set to handle the publishing responsibilities for this eagerly awaited title.
Adding to the excitement, the developers recently introduced the Dungeon faction, bringing a diverse range of units to the game, including troglodytes, dark elves, minotaurs, medusas, hydras, and dragons. These units are poised to add a layer of strategic depth to the battlefield, offering players new ways to engage and triumph in their campaigns.
The team at Unfrozen shared insights into the challenges they encountered while crafting the Arena mode, particularly in balancing skills and heroes within the constraints of limited space and without starting advantages. Despite these hurdles, the developers have successfully navigated these issues, promising players a seamless and engaging gaming experience.
While Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era is set to release on PC later this year, an exact launch date remains under wraps. The game is being meticulously designed to cater to both long-time fans of the series and newcomers, ensuring a broad appeal and an inclusive gaming environment.
