Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era is coming to PC via Steam Early Access later this year and will be published by Hooded Horse and Ubisoft. Developed by Unfrozen (Iratus: Lord of the Dead), this new installment in the renowned turn-based tactics series features new factions, biomes, and creatures on a mysterious new continent, Jadame, which has been referenced but never explored in the Heroes of Might and Magic series.
Ubisoft is partnering with Unfrozen and Hooded Horse on Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era.
"We are thrilled to welcome Hooded Horse aboard to support the next chapter of Heroes of Might and Magic," says Alain Corre, Chief Publishing Officer at Ubisoft. "Their passion for the franchise and strong connection with strategy communities make them the perfect complement to Unfrozen's creative talent. Together, we'll reignite Heroes of Might and Magic and bring players to exciting, unexplored realms."
"Heroes of Might and Magic is a legendary series, one that has a place in the hearts and childhoods of many gamers," says Hooded Horse CEO Tim Bender. "We're honored to be teaming up with Ubisoft and Unfrozen on this project."
"The entire Unfrozen team is very excited that Hooded Horse is joining the project. We firmly believe that their expertise, combined with Ubisoft's legacy, will allow us to make Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era truly successful and introduce the game to even more fans of tactical turn-based strategies from all over the world," says Denis Fedorov, CEO of Unfrozen.
Olden Era features six factions, a single-player campaign, and several multiplayer modes, including the local multiplayer Hotseat mode. In addition, you can venture into the unknown on randomly generated maps, and access the map editor to create your own worlds or experience those created by other players.
