Ubisoft announced Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era at Gamescom 2024 on Thursday, and it will indeed bring things back to an “olden era” when it hits early access in the first half of 2025 on Steam.
Ubisoft and developer Unfrozen added new features that modern players might be used to, including the addition of multiple online multiplayer modes alongside a single-player campaign. It’ll support one-on-one matches and lobbies of up to eight players that can battle on premade maps, generated maps, or ones made with the in-game editor, which will be available during early access. There’s also a new arena mode where players draft weapons and creatures and then go up against each other.
Just from the first images and trailer, Olden Era looks very much like a throwback, with battlefields made up of hexagonal shapes in a top-down, isometric view. They’re mostly void of assets beyond the battling armies, but they’re surrounded by moody, textured environments.
