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

Unfrozen has unveiled an exciting new gameplay trailer for Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era, spotlighting the game's intricate mechanics, diverse units, and engaging gameplay. This latest reveal is a treat for strategy game enthusiasts eager to delve into the rich world of Olden Era. Alongside the trailer, Unfrozen has opened registration for the closed beta test of the "Arena" mode. Aspiring players can sign up for this exclusive testing phase, which runs from March 17 to March 28, directly through the game's Steam page.

Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era is gearing up for an early access launch on Steam in the second quarter of 2025. At launch, players can expect a robust lineup featuring six distinct factions, three immersive single-player modes, and three dynamic multiplayer modes. Ubisoft, the publisher behind this much-anticipated title, is poised to bring this strategic masterpiece to fans worldwide.

Recently, the developers introduced the Dungeon faction, adding a layer of complexity to the game's strategic landscape. This faction boasts an array of units including troglodytes, dark elves, minotaurs, medusas, hydras, and dragons. Each unit offers unique tactical advantages, enriching the game's strategic depth and offering players more ways to outmaneuver their opponents.

The development team at Unfrozen openly discussed the challenges they encountered while crafting the Arena mode, particularly with balancing skills and heroes within the mode's confined space and without starting advantages. However, their dedication paid off, as they successfully navigated these hurdles to deliver a smooth and engaging player experience.

While Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era is slated for a PC release later this year, an exact date has yet to be confirmed. The developers are meticulously designing the game to cater to both long-time fans of the series and newcomers, ensuring a welcoming yet challenging experience for all.
