Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era Early Access Date Announced

Hooded Horse, Unfrozen Studio, and Ubisoft announced an Early Access release date for Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era. The strategy RPG will be available on Early Access for PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store. Its initial version will include the opening act of the narrative campaign, with six unique factions and three different game modes with both single- and multiplayer. The game is expected to spend around a year in Early Access.

Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era takes place on the continent of Jadame, which has been mentioned in the series but not previously visited. Gameplay sees players expanding the castles and kingdom while sending out heroes and armies to explore and defeat foes. The campaign sees rival factions banding together to defeat the Hive, a swarm of insectoids corrupted by a demon lord. There will also be various single maps and randomly-generated scenarios, as well as a selection of competitive multiplayer modes and a map editor that will let players share their creations with others.
