We’ve been following the release of Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era closely; we especially enjoyed playing the demo last year. Now, developer Unfrozen and publisher Hooded Horse have announced that the game will enter early access on Steam and Windows Store on April 30th, 2026. This game marks the first new Heroes game in over ten years, and it plans to arrive in style.

Made for series veterans and newcomers alike, Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era is built on the familiar foundations of one of the most critically acclaimed strategy series of all time, introducing new and classic game modes that will let people play solo or with friends however they please. Engage in strategic empire building, epic turn-based tactical battles, and in-depth RPG mechanics, all while exploring a vibrant, never-before-seen land full of secrets and dangers.

Players will conquer both procedurally generated and hand-crafted maps, raise magnificent cities, and field massive armies of mythical creatures to vanquish enemies across the narrative campaign, Single Hero and Classic skirmish modes, Arena mode, premade scenarios, and multiplayer.

The game will also be localized from English into German, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Turkish, Ukrainian, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, and Japanese.
