Unfrozen Games has released a new gameplay trailer for Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era, offering a glimpse into its core mechanics, diverse units, and overall strategic gameplay. The trailer accompanies the announcement of closed beta registration for the game's "Arena" mode. Players can request access via the Steam page, with testing running from March 17th to March 28th.
Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era is slated for Steam Early Access launch in Q2 2025. At launch, players can expect six distinct factions, three single-player modes, and three multiplayer modes. Ubisoft is publishing this highly anticipated title.
Recently, the Dungeon faction was revealed, introducing a compelling roster of units including troglodytes, dark elves, minotaurs, medusas, hydras, and dragons. These units promise to add exciting new strategic layers to the battlefield.
Unfrozen Games openly discussed the challenges faced in developing the Arena mode, particularly balancing hero and skill sets within the constraints of limited starting resources and map size. They’ve confirmed these challenges have been successfully overcome, promising a polished and engaging competitive experience.
While a precise PC release date remains unannounced, the game is expected to launch later this year. The developers are aiming to create a title enjoyable for both long-time fans of the series and newcomers alike.
