Olden Era Unveils Open Arena Mode Testing

Unfrozen has just unveiled an exciting new gameplay trailer for *Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era*, offering fans a deep dive into the game's strategic elements, including its mechanics, units, and overall gameplay. This eagerly awaited title is set to captivate strategy game enthusiasts with its rich content. Alongside the trailer release, Unfrozen has opened registration for the closed beta test of the innovative "Arena" mode. Players eager to get a first look can sign up for access through the game’s Steam page. The testing period is scheduled from March 17 to March 28, providing a perfect opportunity to experience the game's new features firsthand.

*Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era* is slated to enter early access on Steam in the second quarter of 2025. At launch, players can expect a comprehensive gaming experience with six distinct factions, three immersive single-player modes, and three engaging multiplayer modes. The game's publishing duties are in the capable hands of Ubisoft, ensuring a polished release for this highly anticipated title.

In a recent update, the developers introduced the Dungeon faction, adding a layer of depth to the game's strategic gameplay. This faction boasts a diverse roster including troglodytes, dark elves, minotaurs, medusas, hydras, and dragons, each bringing unique dynamics to the battlefield. This addition promises to enhance the strategic options available to players, making every battle a unique challenge.

Unfrozen faced significant challenges while developing the Arena mode, particularly in balancing skills and heroes within the constraints of limited space and lack of starting advantages. However, the team's dedication paid off, as they successfully overcame these hurdles to deliver a smooth and engaging experience that promises to captivate 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 announced. The developers are meticulously crafting the game to appeal to both long-time fans of the series and newcomers, ensuring a broad appeal that celebrates the rich legacy of the *Heroes of Might & Magic* franchise.
