Roadmap and New PvE Content

The newly revealed early access roadmap serves as a blueprint for the game's immediate future. Unfrozen intends to use this plan to guide regular updates, which will include new neutral creatures, artifacts, heroes, and spells. The developer has confirmed they will continue to monitor community feedback to inform these subsequent additions.

Beyond the roadmap, players can look forward to the arrival of The Mysterious Island. This fan-favorite map from Heroes III is making its way to Olden Era, with its original creator, Papyjama, officially joining the Unfrozen development team as a Level Designer.

Recent Patch Highlights

The development team has pushed out three significant updates recently, focusing on both balance and stability:

  • Patch #8: This update was a major overhaul for the game's systems. It adjusted skills, spells, and creature balance—most notably recalculating passive abilities like the parry mechanic. It also refined random map generator templates and updated the matchmaking pool. Crucially, this patch addressed several exploits, including free creature upgrades, tactics phase peeking, and Alt+F4 disconnect abuses.
  • Patch #9: Acting as a follow-up to the previous changes, this update continued the focus on balance adjustments and fixed bugs that emerged following the significant changes in Patch #8. It also included a buff for the Dungeon in the Arena.
  • Patch #10: The most recent update focuses on quality-of-life improvements. Players can now save their tactics phase formations for faster deployment, and the movement of units in that phase has been visually and audibly revamped. The patch also includes ongoing optimizations and fixes for incorrect tooltips.

For those looking to pick up the game, Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era is currently featured in the Hooded Horse Summer Sale at a 25% discount. You can find the full details on the latest fixes and the future of the game on the official Steam news hub.
