Unfrozen has just unveiled an exciting new gameplay trailer for Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era, giving fans a deep dive into the game's core mechanics, units, and overall strategic gameplay. In tandem with the trailer release, the studio has opened registration for the closed beta test of the innovative "Arena" mode. Enthusiasts can sign up for this exclusive testing phase through the game's Steam page, with the beta scheduled to run from March 17 to March 28.

Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era is gearing up for its early access launch on Steam in the second quarter of 2025. At launch, players can expect to explore six distinct factions, engage in three different single-player modes, and test their skills in three multiplayer modes. Ubisoft, taking on the role of publisher, is set to bring this much-awaited title to the gaming community.

Adding to the excitement, the developers recently introduced the Dungeon faction, featuring an array of intriguing units such as troglodytes, dark elves, minotaurs, medusas, hydras, and dragons. These units promise to add a rich layer of strategic depth to the game's battles.

The team at Unfrozen has been candid about the challenges they encountered while developing the Arena mode, particularly in balancing skills and heroes within the constraints of limited space and the absence of starting advantages. Despite these hurdles, they have successfully fine-tuned the mode to ensure a seamless and captivating experience for players.

While Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era is slated for release on PC later this year, an exact launch date is still under wraps. The developers are meticulously crafting the game to captivate both long-time fans of the series and newcomers, ensuring a broad appeal across the gaming spectrum.
