Overview
- Ubisoft, Hooded Horse, and developer Unfrozen announced Wednesday that the PC Early Access launch arrives April 30 on Steam and the Microsoft Store with day-one Game Pass.
- The opening build includes six factions, an in-game tutorial, the first campaign act, premade scenarios, and a preview version of the map editor.
- Players get Classic, Single Hero, and Arena modes in solo or multiplayer with matchmaking, ranked ladders, leaderboards, and hotseat.
- Set in the Heroes world of Enroth on the unexplored continent of Jadame, the game blends hand-made and random maps with city building and turn-based battles.
- Olden Era is the first mainline Heroes entry since 2015, and Hooded Horse says the October 2025 demo led to more than one million Steam wishlists.
