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

Unfrozen has just unveiled an exciting new gameplay trailer for *Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era*, giving fans a detailed look at the strategy game's core elements, including its mechanics, units, and overall gameplay dynamics. The trailer highlights the depth and strategic complexity that players can expect. Alongside this release, Unfrozen announced the opening of registration for the closed beta test of the innovative "Arena" mode. Enthusiasts can sign up for a chance to participate via the game’s Steam page, with the testing phase set to run from March 17 to March 28.

*Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era* is slated to enter early access on Steam in the second quarter of 2025. At launch, players will have access to six distinct factions, three engaging single-player modes, and three competitive multiplayer modes. The game is being published by Ubisoft, adding to the anticipation surrounding this much-awaited title.

In a recent update, the developers introduced the Dungeon faction, featuring a diverse roster of units such as troglodytes, dark elves, minotaurs, medusas, hydras, and dragons. These units add a unique strategic layer to the game, enhancing its overall depth and appeal.

The team at Unfrozen openly discussed the challenges they encountered while developing the Arena mode, particularly in balancing skills and heroes within the constraints of limited space and lack of starting advantages. Through diligent effort, they have overcome these hurdles, promising a smooth and engaging experience for players.

While *Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era* is expected to release on PC later this year, an exact launch date has yet to be confirmed. The developers are focused on creating a game that caters to both long-time fans of the series and newcomers, ensuring a broad appeal and a rich gaming experience.
