Unfrozen has recently unveiled an exciting gameplay trailer for their upcoming strategy game, Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era. The trailer highlights essential elements of the game, including its mechanics, units, and overall gameplay. In a significant update, Unfrozen has also opened registration for the closed beta test of the new "Arena" mode. Players eager to get a taste of this mode can request access through the game's Steam page. The testing phase is scheduled to run from March 17 to March 28, offering a prime opportunity to experience the game's latest features firsthand.
Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era is set to launch into early access on Steam during the second quarter of 2025. At launch, players can expect a rich gaming experience with six distinct factions, three engaging single-player modes, and three dynamic multiplayer modes. Ubisoft, taking on the role of publisher, is poised to bring this highly anticipated title to a broad audience.
Adding to the excitement, the developers recently introduced the Dungeon faction, which includes a diverse range of units such as troglodytes, dark elves, minotaurs, medusas, hydras, and dragons. Each of these units adds a unique strategic element to the game, enhancing the overall depth and complexity of the battlefield.
The team at Unfrozen openly shared the challenges they encountered during the development of the Arena mode. Balancing skills and heroes in a confined space with no initial advantages proved to be a significant hurdle. However, the team's dedication and hard work paid off, as they successfully overcame these issues, ensuring 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 has yet to be confirmed. The developers are committed to crafting an experience that appeals to both long-time fans of the series and newcomers, promising a game that will captivate and challenge players of all skill levels.
