Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era Announces Open Arena Mode Testing

Unfrozen Games has unveiled a new gameplay trailer for Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era, showcasing its core mechanics, diverse units, and overall strategic gameplay. This exciting reveal coincides with 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 engaging single-player modes, and three competitive multiplayer modes. Ubisoft is partnering with Unfrozen Games to bring this highly anticipated title to players worldwide.

Recently, the Dungeon faction was revealed, introducing a compelling roster of units: troglodytes, dark elves, minotaurs, medusas, hydras, and dragons. These units introduce unique strategic elements, adding significant depth to the battlefield.

The development team at Unfrozen Games openly discussed the challenges faced in creating the Arena mode, particularly balancing hero skills and ensuring fair play within the constraints of limited resources and starting advantages. They've successfully overcome these hurdles, promising a polished and engaging competitive experience.

While a precise release date for the PC version remains unannounced, the game is targeted for release later this year. Unfrozen Games is dedicated to crafting a title that will resonate with both long-time fans of the series and newcomers alike.
