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

Unfrozen has recently unveiled an exciting new gameplay trailer for *Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era*, providing a detailed look at the game's strategic elements, including mechanics, units, and overall gameplay. This trailer comes alongside the announcement of the opening of registration for the closed beta test of the "Arena" mode. Enthusiasts eager to dive into this mode can request access via the game's Steam page, with the testing phase scheduled to run from March 17 to March 28.

*Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era* is poised to enter early access on Steam in the second quarter of 2025. At its launch, players can expect a rich experience with six distinct factions, three engaging single-player modes, and three dynamic multiplayer modes. Ubisoft, taking on the role of publisher, is set to bring this highly anticipated title to the gaming community.

In a recent reveal, the developers introduced the Dungeon faction, which includes a diverse roster of units such as troglodytes, dark elves, minotaurs, medusas, hydras, and dragons. These units add a unique layer of strategic depth to the game, enhancing the overall gameplay experience.

The team at Unfrozen has 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 addressed these issues, ensuring that players will enjoy a smooth and engaging experience.

While *Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era* is slated for a PC release later this year, an exact launch date has not yet been disclosed. The developers are meticulously crafting the game to cater to both long-time fans of the series and newcomers, promising a comprehensive and enjoyable strategic gaming experience.
