Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era Announces Open Arena Mode Testing

Unfrozen has just unveiled an exciting new gameplay trailer for Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era, giving fans a deep dive into the strategy game's mechanics, units, and overall gameplay. This trailer comes hand-in-hand with the announcement of the closed beta test for the "Arena" mode. Eager players can now 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 its debut, the game will boast six distinct factions, three engaging single-player modes, and three competitive multiplayer modes. Ubisoft, a powerhouse in the gaming industry, is set to publish this eagerly awaited title.

In a recent reveal, the developers introduced the Dungeon faction, featuring a roster of intriguing units such as troglodytes, dark elves, minotaurs, medusas, hydras, and dragons. These additions promise to enhance the game's strategic depth, offering players new and exciting ways to dominate the battlefield.

The team at Unfrozen openly discussed 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 crafted a mode that promises a smooth and engaging experience for all players.

While Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era is slated for a PC release later this year, an exact date remains under wraps. The developers are meticulously designing the game to cater to both long-time fans of the series and newcomers, ensuring a rich and accessible experience for all.
