- Team matchmaking, tournaments, and leaderboards for multiplayer modes.

- Random Map Generators and Hotseat for local multiplayer.

- A series of puzzle-style challenges to test skills.

- A pre-launch version of the map editor for players to create their own content.

Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era is designed as a prequel, offering both veterans of the series and new players a chance to explore the world of Heroes of Might and Magic through the lens of one of six available factions.

With turn-based combat set in a fantasy world, players will engage in epic battles, manage their armies, and recruit heroes to turn the tide of war.

Unfrozen plans to keep Olden Era in early access for around a year, but the team remains open to extending this period if needed. One thing is certain, however - thousands of eager fans will soon be able to clash in the massive multiplayer battles of Might and Magic: Olden Era.
