Unfrozen has just dropped an exciting new gameplay trailer for *Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era*, giving fans a deep dive into the game's mechanics, units, and overall strategic gameplay. This trailer not only showcases the game's rich elements but also marks the opening of registration for the closed beta test of the highly anticipated "Arena" mode. Eager players can sign up for this exclusive opportunity via the game's Steam page, with the testing window scheduled from March 17 to March 28.

Mark your calendars, as *Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era* is set to launch into early access on Steam in the second quarter of 2025. At its debut, players can expect a robust lineup featuring six distinct factions, three immersive single-player modes, and three dynamic multiplayer options. Ubisoft is steering the ship for this eagerly awaited title, promising a polished gaming experience.

In recent updates, the developers have pulled back the curtain on the Dungeon faction, introducing a roster of intriguing units such as troglodytes, dark elves, minotaurs, medusas, hydras, and dragons. Each of these units adds a layer of strategic depth to the gameplay, promising to keep players engaged and strategizing for hours on end.

Despite these challenges, they've managed to overcome them, ensuring that the Arena mode will offer a smooth and captivating experience for all participants.

While *Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era* is slated for a PC release later this year, the exact date remains under wraps. The developers are committed to creating a game that appeals to both long-time fans of the series and newcomers, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the rich world and strategic challenges that await.
