What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We see Early Access as a great tool for us to present the game to the community and, by doing that, polish and refine some technical and in-game details and mechanics. We’re versatile enough and very open to feedback, as we believe that the game is great and wish to show it to as many players as possible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan for the Early Access phase to last around a year. This timeline allows us to implement your feedback, test the multiplayer features, and ensure a robust final release.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We aim to enhance the full version with additional content, refined gameplay mechanics, improved visuals, and an overall more polished experience compared to the Early Access version. We will consider player feedback to address any issues and make improvements to various aspects of the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“This version is not only playable but also features core gameplay mechanics and a substantial portion of the content that we have planned for the full release. While it may contain some bugs and incomplete features, we are actively working to address them based on your feedback.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The Early Access price will be confirmed when we get closer to the release based on the amount of content and the general pricing of comparable games in Early Access. We intend to set a fair price for the Early Access so that a maximum of players can participate and help make the best game possible. Depending on the duration of Early Access and the scope of additional content we add to Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era over time, we may increase the retail price for the full version release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Your involvement in the community is crucial to us. That’s why we’re building several channels for you to reach out to us on the most popular platforms. We’ve started a Discord channel that is open to everyone, where you can chat with us and other top voices in the community: https://discord.gg/unfrozen”

About This Game


Heroes of Might & Magic Olden Era is a new installment of the renowed series of turn-based strategy games, where action takes place in Enroth, on the continent of Jadame, mentioned but never explored in a Heroes of Might & Magic game before. Traverse a vibrant and living fantasy world full of wonders and dangers, build magnificent capital cities, raise massive armies and clash in epic, highly tactical battles of heroes and mythical creatures.

Play solo with a new campaign, multiple single maps and limitless randomly generated scenarios, or engage in battle of wits and magic with other players — rivals or allies — in multiplayer mode. There is also an option to build your own story with the map editor tool, which you may make available to all the players around the world or keep to yourself.

Enjoy the challenge whether you are a veteran of Heroes of Might & Magic, or a newcomer to the series and the turn based strategy genre.




  • An epic campaign set on the mysterious continent of Jadame where rival factions must forge fragile alliances to face the Hive — a swarm of insectoids corrupted by an Inferno demon lord hell bent on subjugating the world.
  • Choose from a roster of unique factions mixing returning fan favorites and brand-new creations, each with their unique gameplay style, creatures and heroes and unique faction abilities: Temple (Classic Humans), Necropolis (Undead and Vampires), Sylvan (The Forces of Nature and Fey Folks), Dungeon (Dark Elves and Underground Creatures), Hive (Demonic Insectoids), and a mysterious sixth faction to be revealed later.






  • 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.
  • Create your own scenarios to play or share with the other players with our complete and intuitive, pick-up-and-play in-game editor.




  • Exploration and strategy: traverse the global map to collect resources and become stronger.
  • Castle management: upgrade the castle and expand your kingdom.
  • Faction laws that help bring uniqueness and diversity to player’s playstyle.


  • A traditional hexagonal battlefield with an orthographic camera.
  • New combat mechanics: active abilities are available for creatures and heroes.
  • Matchmaking, ratings, and leaderboards — separate for all modes.
  • Polished and improved for modern strategy players.
  • A Revamped AI and multiple difficulty levels ensure a constant and adapted challenge for every type players, whether they are veterans of Heroes of Might & Magic, or newcomers to the series and the turn based strategy genre.
