gamescom 2024: Ubisoft and Unfrozen Announce Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era

Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era, a new game in the cherished strategy series, was revealed by Ubisoft and Unfrozen. In honor of its 30th anniversary, the Heroes of Might and Magic series will launch Olden Era in Early Access during the first part of 2025 next year.

The latest entry in the critically acclaimed and genre-defining Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era series of turn-based strategy games is available now. In Olden Era, players are invited to embark on a new strategic quest on Jadame, a mysterious and turbulent continent that has never been explored in the main Heroes of Might & Magic series. This game takes players back to the world of Enroth and the beginnings of the legendary saga.

With Olden Era, the Heroes of Might and Magic brand enters a new era. Players can now build majestic castles, raise large armies, and engage in epic, highly tactical battles against mythological creatures and heroes in a dynamic, living fantasy world full of wonders and perils. Play in multiplayer modes that give a variety of gaming options, from rapid Arena matches to the strategic depth of a single-hero mode or classic Skirmish. Alternatively, play alone with a new campaign, single maps, and endless randomly created scenarios. During early access, one of the primary features will be the ability for players to customize Heroes of Might & Magic single maps and multiplayer templates using creative tools.

Additionally, the Faction Laws, a new faction-based perk system, and entirely new combat systems, such as active abilities for heroes and animals, provide diversity and individuality to playstyles. Six factions await players, featuring both new and returning favorites as well as unique playstyles, rosters of creatures, and heroes. These factions are as follows: Temple (classic Knights), Necropolis (Vampires and the Undead), Sylvan (The Forces of Nature and Fey Folks), Dungeon (Dark Elves and Underground Creatures), Hive (Insectoids corrupted by Demons), and another faction that will be revealed later.

Denis Fedorov, CEO and Founder of Unfrozen stated, “At Unfrozen, our passion for tactical RPGs runs deep, with the Heroes series holding a special place in our hearts. For many of us, Heroes was a defining game growing up, while for others, it’s an exciting new journey.”
Unfrozen’s Leonid Parmenov, Game Director said, “We’re incredibly proud to work on such an iconic franchise. With Olden Era, we’ve combined the core elements of classic Heroes with new ideas and modern technology, creating an experience that resonates with both long-time fans and newcomers alike.”
Eric Damian-Vernet, Brand Director for the Might and Magic IP at Ubisoft stated, “The Heroes of Might and Magic games occupy a special place in the hearts of their fans, and we wanted to make sure the series comeback, after an almost ten-year hiatus, would be a celebration for the community. By giving the creative reins to the passionate team of fans and genre experts at Unfrozen studio, we are confident that Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era is going to be a worthy new installment in the almost 30-year-old legendary saga. We cannot wait for players to start playing the game at Early Access and build the best Heroes of Might and Magic game yet together with Unfrozen and the amazing community.”

The decision to release the game via Early Access on Steam was made by the developer, Unfrozen, and publisher, Ubisoft, in an effort to engage with the community and improve the game based on player feedback. Because of Unfrozen’s experience with Early Access games, players can expect a well-supported and dynamic development experience. Players can anticipate a whole new faction, new game types, new features, and frequent updates during Early Access.

Olden Era, which returns to the world of Enroth, reimagines the familiar aspects of the iconic Heroes series for a new audience while also presenting brand-new adventures in a place that fans have long cherished.
