Unfrozen has unveiled an exciting new gameplay trailer for Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era, providing a deep dive into the strategy game's mechanics, units, and overall gameplay experience. The trailer has stirred up anticipation among fans, showcasing the rich strategic elements that the game promises. In conjunction with the trailer release, Unfrozen has opened registration for the closed beta test of the innovative "Arena" mode. Players eager to experience this new feature can sign up for access through the game’s official Steam page. The testing period is set to run from March 17 to March 28, offering a chance for early feedback and engagement.

Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era is slated to launch into early access on Steam in the second quarter of 2025. At its debut, the game will boast six distinct factions, three engaging single-player modes, and three competitive multiplayer modes. Ubisoft, stepping in as the publisher, is set to bring this eagerly awaited title to a broad audience.

Adding to the game's allure, the developers recently introduced the Dungeon faction, featuring a diverse roster of units such as troglodytes, dark elves, minotaurs, medusas, hydras, and dragons. These units not only add visual diversity but also bring unique strategic dynamics to the battlefield, enhancing the game's depth and appeal.

The development team at Unfrozen openly discussed the challenges they encountered while crafting the Arena mode, especially in balancing the skills and heroes within the constraints of limited space and without initial advantages. However, they proudly announced that they have successfully overcome these hurdles, ensuring that the Arena mode will offer a smooth and engaging experience for all players.

While Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era is anticipated to hit PC platforms later this year, an exact release date remains under wraps. The developers are meticulously designing the game to cater to both long-time fans of the series and newcomers, promising a universally appealing strategic experience.
