Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era, the upcoming official prequel to HoMM3, is back with a new trailer dedicated to one of the game’s playable factions. Olden Era promises a return to the origins of the legendary saga, inviting both veterans and new players alike to explore Jadame, a mysterious continent in turmoil.
The game will be coming into Early Access in Q2 2025, featuring six factions: Temple (Classic Knights), Necropolis (Undead and Vampires), Sylvan (Nature and Fey Folk), Dungeon (Dark Elves and Underground Creatures), Hive (Demonic Insectoids), and a sixth mysterious faction that will be revealed later. The devs plan to expand the list in the future updates and DLC.
Olden Era will offer three single-player modes: Campaign, Randomly Generated Map and Skirmish. There are also three multiplayer modes to enjoy: Classic Mode, One-Hero Mode & Arena.
“Psst, do you need some boost in diplomacy before the Christmas dinner with your dear ones? The Alvar Pact is here for you — ready to show you its power, including the majestic BLACK DRAGONS! Alongside them are the minotaurs, troglodytes, medusae and dark elves together with their special abilities — come see their fighting stances!”
