We couldn’t be more excited for a game if we tried, well Faith is at least considering she is the world’s biggest Heroes of Might and Magic fan. The turn-based strategy series was a shining light in the 90s and although it hasn’t reached those lofty heights again, this new instalment looks like it harks back to its glory days. It’s being developed by Unfrozen and published by Ubisoft.

Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era is set in the series’ mythical Enroth and uses a classic 4X strategy formula of exploration, resource management, city building and battles. It features classic campaigns as well as single scenarios and the all-important map editor to make your scenarios. We will be keeping tabs on this one as it goes through development with an expected release on Steam in the second quarter of 2025.

• 3 main multiplayer game modes:
  ‣ Classic: a mode where a player can play with one or more heroes, upgrade the castle and explore the map.
  ‣ One-hero mode: a blitz-like system, but you have only one hero, so their demise will become yours as well!
  ‣ Arena: a mode for those who came to battle! Draft a hero, upgrade them, pick your troops, and challenge the enemy right away.
• Dive into the epic non-linear single-player campaign to shape Jadame’s history and seal the fates of its heroes and kingdoms.
