Unfrozen has recently unveiled an exciting new gameplay trailer for Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era, giving fans a deep dive into the game's strategic mechanics, diverse units, and engaging gameplay. The trailer not only showcases what players can expect but also marks the opening of registration for the closed beta test of the game's new "Arena" mode. Interested players can sign up for access through the game's Steam page, with the testing phase set to run from March 17 to March 28.
Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era is gearing up for an early access launch on Steam in the second quarter of 2025. At launch, the game promises a rich experience with six distinct factions, three immersive single-player modes, and three dynamic multiplayer options. Ubisoft, stepping in as the publisher, is set to bring this much-anticipated title to the gaming community.
In a recent reveal, the developers introduced the Dungeon faction, adding a layer of complexity and strategy with units like troglodytes, dark elves, minotaurs, medusas, hydras, and dragons. These units are designed to offer unique tactical advantages on the battlefield, enhancing the game's strategic depth.
The team at Unfrozen has been candid about the challenges they faced in developing the Arena mode, particularly in balancing skills and heroes within the constraints of limited space and no starting advantages. However, they've overcome these hurdles, ensuring that the Arena mode will provide a smooth and engaging experience for players.
While Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era is slated for a PC release later this year, an exact date is yet to be confirmed. The developers are committed to crafting a game that appeals to both long-time fans of the series and newcomers, promising a strategic experience that is both accessible and deeply rewarding.
