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

Unfrozen has just unveiled an exciting new gameplay trailer for *Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era*, giving fans a detailed look at the game's key mechanics, diverse units, and immersive gameplay. In addition to the trailer, the studio has announced the opening of registration for the closed beta test of the much-anticipated "Arena" mode. Interested players can sign up for access via the game's Steam page, with the testing phase set to run from March 17 to March 28.

Mark your calendars, as *Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era* is slated to enter early access on Steam in the second quarter of 2025. Upon launch, players can dive into an expansive world featuring six distinct factions, three engaging single-player modes, and three competitive multiplayer modes. Ubisoft, the game's publisher, is all set to bring this highly anticipated title to the masses.

Adding to the excitement, the developers recently introduced the Dungeon faction, showcasing a roster that includes troglodytes, dark elves, minotaurs, medusas, hydras, and dragons. These units not only enhance the visual appeal but also bring unique strategic elements to the battlefield, deepening the game's tactical complexity.

The team at Unfrozen openly shared the challenges they encountered while crafting the Arena mode, particularly in balancing the skills and heroes within the confined space and without starting advantages. Through dedicated effort, they've overcome these hurdles, promising a smooth and engaging experience for players during the closed beta test.

While *Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era* is expected to launch on PC later this year, an exact release date is still under wraps. The developers are meticulously designing the game to cater to both long-time fans of the series and newcomers, ensuring a rich and accessible experience for all.
