Ubisoft has recently made an exciting announcement for fans of the long-standing turn-based strategy RPG series, Heroes of Might & Magic. The upcoming installment, titled Olden Era, is set to take players back to the world of Enroth, where the legendary saga first took root in 1984. This new game promises to be a nostalgic journey for veterans of the series while also welcoming newcomers to explore the intricate world of Enroth.
In Olden Era, players will embark on a quest to Jadame, a mysterious continent in turmoil. This new setting will introduce players to new factions, biomes, and creatures, as well as bring back familiar elements such as castle management, army clashes, and hex-based maps. The game aims to provide a fresh and immersive experience for both new and returning players alike.
The developers have incorporated several new features to enhance the gameplay experience in Olden Era. Players can look forward to a new solo campaign, the ability to engage in one-off clashes on single maps, and a map generator that promises “limitless” scenarios. The addition of co-op and competitive multiplayer modes, each with its own matchmaking system and leaderboards, adds a new layer of depth to the game.
Olden Era introduces active abilities for heroes and creatures, along with a faction-based perk system called Faction Laws. The currently announced factions include the Knights of Temple, the Necropolis, the Sylvan, the Dungeon, and the Hive. Each faction brings unique gameplay mechanics and challenges, adding variety to the gameplay experience. The Hive faction, described as the big bads of this iteration, presents a formidable threat that players must unite against to save Enroth.
Notably, Olden Era will be the first Heroes Of Might & Magic game to launch through early access. Developed by Unfrozen using the Unity engine, the team behind Iratus: Lord of the Dead, the game promises a visually stunning and immersive experience for players. The revamped visual style aims to capture the vibrant and magical essence of the series while offering a fresh perspective on the world of Enroth.
As we eagerly anticipate the release of Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era, it’s clear that Ubisoft is dedicated to revitalizing the beloved series for a new generation of players. With its captivating storyline, diverse factions, and innovative gameplay mechanics, Olden Era promises to be a thrilling addition to the Heroes of Might & Magic universe. So, brace yourselves for an epic adventure as you step into the world of Enroth once again.
