Publisher Ubisoft and developer Unfrozen Studio have announced the return of a legend. Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era is the official prequel, hailing back to the origins of the genre-defining, critically acclaimed series of turn-based strategy games. If Ashan and Axeoth weren’t your cup of tea, it’s time to grab your trusty spellbook and return to Enroth.
Olden Era promises a return to the origins of the legendary saga, inviting both veterans and new players to go on a new strategic quest on Jadame, a mysterious continent in turmoil, mentioned but never explored in the previous games. It will also introduce unique factions, biomes and creatures. But if the thought of something brand-new coming to Heroes of Might and Magic fills you with dread instead of excitement, just check out the trailer above to see all the HoMM3 influences and their effect on the design choices.
“Traverse a vibrant and living fantasy world full of wonders and dangers, build magnificent castles, raise massive armies and clash in epic and highly tactical battles of heroes and mythical creatures. Play solo with a new campaign, explore single and limitless randomly generated maps, or engage in battle of wits and magic with other players in multiplayer mode. Or even build your own Heroes of Might & Magic stories with the in-game map and campaign editor.”
The game will be arriving soon in Steam Early Access. Check out the official page to wishlist and see more information and screenshots from Olden Era. The devs expect the game to stick in EA for about a year.
