Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era - Official Early Access Overview Trailer

Olden Era, from Heroes of Might and Magic, is now available in early access on Steam and PC Game Pass. The game offers various single-player modes, starting with a tutorial for new players to learn basic mechanics. Experienced players can tackle advanced challenges. A non-linear campaign features the first act with multiple missions, where player choices affect the story and available missions. Scenarios provide handcrafted maps with specific tales or themes, with more to be added. The quick start option includes a redesigned arena mode for immediate combat, allowing players to choose heroes, skills, units, spells, and artifacts. Classic mode lets players field up to eight heroes, explore maps, and conquer towns against up to seven opponents. For a more relaxed experience, single hero mode allows control of one hero with higher stakes. Both single hero and classic modes feature numerous templates for random map generation, enhancing replayability with varied victory conditions like capturing towns or winning specific fights. Multiplayer includes an automated ranked matchmaking system with leaderboards for arena, single hero, and classic modes. Players can also host custom lobbies for more freedom, playing with friends or community maps without affecting rank. Hot seat mode is available for local multiplayer without internet access. Early access also features a beta map editor for creating custom maps, which will be improved over time. The developers appreciate player support and encourage bug reporting via the F1 button or Discord.
