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

Unfrozen has unveiled an exciting new gameplay trailer for Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era, spotlighting the game's intricate strategy mechanics, diverse units, and captivating gameplay. In addition to the trailer, the studio has opened registration for the closed beta test of the eagerly awaited "Arena" mode. Enthusiasts 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 slated to launch into early access on Steam during the second quarter of 2025. At its debut, players can expect to explore six distinct factions, dive into three engaging single-player modes, and compete in three dynamic multiplayer modes. The game's publishing is being expertly handled by Ubisoft, ensuring a high-quality release for this much-anticipated title.

Recently, the developers introduced the Dungeon faction, adding a rich variety of units including troglodytes, dark elves, minotaurs, medusas, hydras, and dragons. Each of these units contributes unique strategic elements to the gameplay, enhancing the overall depth and excitement of Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era.

Unfrozen has been candid about the challenges encountered during the development of the Arena mode, particularly in balancing skills and heroes within the constraints of limited space and no starting advantages. Despite these hurdles, the team has successfully overcome them, ensuring that the Arena mode offers a smooth and engaging experience for all players.

While the game is expected to be released on PC later this year, an exact launch date has not yet been disclosed. The developers are meticulously crafting Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era to cater to both long-time fans of the series and newcomers, promising an inclusive and thrilling strategic gaming experience.
