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

Unfrozen has recently unveiled an exciting new gameplay trailer for *Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era*, spotlighting the game's intricate strategy mechanics, diverse units, and immersive gameplay. In a move that has thrilled fans, the studio has also opened registration for the closed beta test of the much-anticipated "Arena" mode. Enthusiasts can sign up for this exclusive test via the game's Steam page, with the beta scheduled to run from March 17 to March 28.

Mark your calendars, as *Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era* is set to launch into early access on Steam during Q2 2025. At its debut, players can expect to dive into a world featuring six distinct factions, three engaging single-player modes, and three competitive multiplayer modes. Ubisoft, taking the helm as the publisher, is poised to bring this eagerly awaited title to the masses.

Adding to the game's allure, the developers recently introduced the Dungeon faction, complete with a roster of unique units including troglodytes, dark elves, minotaurs, medusas, hydras, and dragons. These additions promise to enhance the strategic depth and variety of the gameplay, offering players new tactical options on the battlefield.

Unfrozen has been candid about the challenges faced in developing the Arena mode, particularly in balancing skills and heroes within the constraints of limited space and the absence of initial advantages. However, the team has overcome these hurdles, ensuring that the Arena mode will offer 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 launch date is still under wraps. The developers are meticulously crafting the game to cater to both long-time fans of the series and newcomers, aiming to create a universally appealing strategic experience.
