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

Unfrozen has recently unveiled a captivating new gameplay trailer for *Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era*, spotlighting the core mechanics, diverse units, and immersive gameplay that fans can expect. This trailer comes hand-in-hand with exciting news: the studio has opened registration for a closed beta test of the game's "Arena" mode. Eager players can sign up for this exclusive testing phase via the game's Steam page, with the beta scheduled to run from March 17 to March 28.

*Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era* is poised to launch into early access on Steam during the second quarter of 2025. At its debut, the game will boast six distinct factions, three engaging single-player modes, and three dynamic multiplayer options. Ubisoft, taking on the role of publisher, is set to bring this eagerly awaited title to the masses.

In recent developments, the team introduced the Dungeon faction, complete with a roster of intriguing units such as troglodytes, dark elves, minotaurs, medusas, hydras, and dragons. These additions promise to add a rich layer of strategic complexity to the game's battlefield dynamics.

Unfrozen has been candid about the challenges encountered during the development of the Arena mode, especially in balancing skills and heroes within the constraints of limited space and absent starting advantages. Despite these hurdles, the developers have triumphed, ensuring that the Arena mode will deliver a seamless and enthralling experience for players.

While *Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era* is slated for a PC release later this year, the exact date remains under wraps. The game is being meticulously crafted to captivate both long-time fans of the series and newcomers, promising an experience that honors the legacy of the franchise while welcoming a new generation of players.
