From Press Release:
July 1, 2025 – Hooded Horse is excited to announce that it has come to an agreement with Ubisoft and Unfrozen to serve as publisher for Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era, which is due to release on PC via Steam Early Access later this year.
Developed by Unfrozen, the studio behind fantasy tactical RPG Iratus: Lord of the Dead, this is the next entry in the legendary turn-based tactics franchise set in a mysterious new continent. Featuring new factions, biomes, and creatures, the lands of Jadame have been referenced but never explored in the main Heroes of Might and Magic series.
Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era already has over 600 000 wishlists on Steam, ranking in the top 50 most wishlisted upcoming games on Steam. Check out recent gameplay footage, as well as deep dives for the Necropolis, Dungeon, and Sylvan factions. A community feedback video was also recently released.
“Heroes of Might and Magic is a legendary series, one that has a place in the hearts and childhoods of many gamers,” says Hooded Horse CEO Tim Bender. “We’re honored to be teaming up with Ubisoft and Unfrozen on this project.”
“We are thrilled to welcome Hooded Horse aboard to support the next chapter of Heroes of Might and Magic,” says Alain Corre, Chief Publishing Officer at Ubisoft. “Their passion for the franchise and strong connection with strategy communities make them the perfect complement to Unfrozen’s creative talent. Together, we’ll reignite Heroes of Might and Magic and bring players to exciting, unexplored realms.”
“The entire Unfrozen team is very excited that Hooded Horse is joining the project,” says Unfrozen CEO Denis Fedorov. “We firmly believe that their expertise, combined with Ubisoft’s legacy, will allow us to make Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era truly successful and introduce the game to even more fans of tactical turn-based strategies from all over the world.”
