Unfrozen has just dropped an exciting new gameplay trailer for Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era, giving fans a deep dive into the strategic elements that define this eagerly awaited game. The trailer highlights key mechanics, diverse units, and the immersive gameplay that players can expect. In a thrilling development, Unfrozen has also opened registration for the closed beta test of the new "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 an early access launch on Steam in the second quarter of 2025. At launch, players will have access to six distinct factions, three engaging single-player modes, and three competitive multiplayer modes. The game's publishing is being expertly handled by Ubisoft, ensuring a robust and polished release for this highly anticipated title.

In recent updates, the developers introduced the Dungeon faction, adding a rich variety of units such as troglodytes, dark elves, minotaurs, medusas, hydras, and dragons. These units not only enhance the visual appeal but also add strategic depth to the gameplay, making each battle unique and challenging.

The team at Unfrozen openly discussed the challenges they encountered while developing the Arena mode, particularly in balancing the skills and heroes within the constrained environment and without initial advantages. Despite these hurdles, they've managed to create a balanced and enjoyable experience for players, showcasing their commitment to quality and player satisfaction.

While Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era is slated for a PC release later this year, an exact launch date has not yet been confirmed. The developers are focused on crafting an experience that will captivate both long-time fans of the series and newcomers, promising a game that blends nostalgia with fresh strategic challenges.
