Unfrozen has unveiled an exciting new gameplay trailer for Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era, spotlighting the strategic elements of this eagerly awaited game. The trailer showcases essential gameplay mechanics, diverse units, and immersive overall gameplay, giving fans a tantalizing glimpse into what's to come. Alongside the trailer, Unfrozen has opened registration for the closed beta test of the innovative "Arena" mode. Players eager to experience this new feature can request access through the game’s Steam page, with the testing phase scheduled from March 17 to March 28.

Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era is slated to launch into early access on Steam in Q2 2025. At its debut, the game will boast six distinct factions, three engaging single-player modes, and three competitive multiplayer modes. Ubisoft, taking on the role of publisher, is poised to bring this much-anticipated title to a wide audience.

In a recent reveal, the developers introduced the Dungeon faction, adding a rich layer of strategic complexity to the game. This faction includes a variety of units such as troglodytes, dark elves, minotaurs, medusas, hydras, and dragons, each contributing unique dynamics to the battlefield.

Unfrozen has openly discussed the challenges encountered during the development of the Arena mode, particularly in balancing skills and heroes within the constrained space and without starting advantages. However, the team has successfully navigated these hurdles, ensuring a seamless and captivating experience for players.

While Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era is anticipated to hit PC shelves later this year, a precise release date remains under wraps. The developers are meticulously crafting the game to cater to both seasoned series veterans and enthusiastic newcomers, promising a strategic experience that will captivate players across the board.
