Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era is set to launch in PC early access on 30 April, Hooded Horse and Ubisoft have announced. The title is the first original Heroes of Might and Magic entry in over a decade and is being developed by Unfrozen.

Olden Era is a turn-based strategy RPG built around town management and tactical battles. Players alternate between tending towns and sending heroes, fantasy creatures and armies on quests across procedurally generated maps. The early access build will include a mixture of familiar systems and newly designed modes, spanning both singleplayer and multiplayer.
