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

Unfrozen has unveiled an exciting new gameplay trailer for *Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era*, giving fans a deep dive into the strategy game's core mechanics, units, and overall gameplay experience. The trailer highlights the intricate details that players can expect, setting the stage for what promises to be a thrilling addition to the beloved series.

In conjunction with the trailer release, Unfrozen has opened registration for the closed beta test of the game's "Arena" mode. Enthusiasts eager to get a first-hand experience can sign up for access through the game's Steam page. The testing phase is scheduled to run from March 17 to March 28, offering a prime opportunity for players to provide feedback and help refine the game before its official launch.

*Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era* is slated to enter early access 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. Ubisoft, taking on the role of publisher, is set to bring this highly anticipated title to the gaming community.

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

The team at Unfrozen has been candid about the challenges they faced 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 overcome these issues, ensuring that the Arena mode will provide a smooth and engaging experience for players.

While *Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era* is expected to launch on PC later this year, an exact release date has not yet been disclosed. The developers are committed to crafting a game that appeals to both long-time fans of the series and newcomers, promising a rich and accessible gaming experience for all.
