The legendary franchise returns with its first new entry in a decade
Sydney, Australia –August 23, 2024 – Today, Ubisoft and Unfrozen announced Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era, a new installment in the beloved strategy franchise. Next year, the Heroes of Might and Magic franchise will celebrate its 30th anniversary by releasing Olden Era in Early Access in the first half of 2025.
Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era is the new installment in the genre-defining, critically acclaimed series of turn-based strategy games. Olden Era returns to the world of Enroth and the origins of the legendary saga, inviting both veterans and new players to go on a new strategic quest on Jadame, a mysterious continent in turmoil, never before explored in the main Heroes of Might & Magic series, with its unique factions, biomes and creatures.
Olden Era ushers in a new era for the Heroes of Might and Magic franchise, bringing players to explore a vibrant and living fantasy world full of wonders and dangers, build magnificent castles, raise massive armies and clash in epic and highly tactical battles of heroes and mythical creatures. Play solo with a new campaign, single maps and limitless randomly generated scenarios, or engage in battle of wits and magic with other players in various multiplayer modes offering a variety of gameplay, from quick Arena matches to the strategic depth of a single-hero mode or classic Skirmish. One of the main features coming during early access includes creative tools that will allow players to create their own Heroes of Might & Magic single maps and multiplayer templates.
In addition, all new combat mechanics including active abilities for heroes and creatures, and new faction-based perk system, the Faction Laws, bring uniqueness and diversity to playstyles. Players can look forward to uncovering six factions with returning favorites and brand-new creations, each with their unique playstyle, roster of creatures and heroes: Temple (The classic Knights), Necropolis (Undead and Vampires), Sylvan (The Forces of Nature and Fey Folks), Dungeon (Dark Elves and Underground Creatures), Hive (Insectoids corrupted by Demons), and another faction to be revealed at a later time.
“At Unfrozen, our passion for tactical RPGs runs deep, with the Heroes series holding a special place in our hearts. For many of us, Heroes was a defining game growing up, while for others, it’s an exciting new journey,” says Denis Fedorov, CEO and Founder.
“We’re incredibly proud to work on such an iconic franchise. With Olden Era, we’ve combined the core elements of classic Heroes with new ideas and modern technology, creating an experience that resonates with both long-time fans and newcomers alike,” says Leonid Parmenov, Game Director.
“The Heroes of Might and Magic games occupy a special place in the hearts of their fans, and we wanted to make sure the series comeback, after an almost ten-year hiatus, would be a celebration for the community. By giving the creative reins to the passionate team of fans and genre experts at Unfrozen studio, we are confident that Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era is going to be a worthy new installment in the almost 30-year-old legendary saga. We cannot wait for players to start playing the game at Early Access and build the best Heroes of Might and Magic game yet together with Unfrozen and the amazing community,” says Eric Damian-Vernet, Brand Director for the Might and Magic IP at Ubisoft.
Ubisoft, as the publisher, and Unfrozen, as the developer, chose to release the game in Early Access on Steam to work with the community and make the best game possible with players’ feedback. Unfrozen’s expertise with Early Access titles ensures a well-supported and evolving experience throughout development. During Early Access, players can expect a whole new Faction, new modes, new features, and many regular updates to arrive.
Returning to the world of Enroth, Olden Era not only brings back the beloved elements of the classic Heroes series but also reimagines them for a new generation, offering fresh adventures in a land that fans have long cherished.

Battle It Out Across the Ground, Sea, and Skies in Assault on ATT-16 – Explosive New Multi-Stage Mode Debuts This Week
What do you call a black ops team staging an all-out assault on Fort Zancudo? Answer: Stage One. Stage Two is where it really gets interesting: a full-scale offensive dismantling of an aircraft carrier’s defenses, opening the door of its hangar, and commandeering the F-160 Raiju jet inside.
Assault on ATT-16 is the explosive new high-stakes GTA Online Adversary Mode that pits two teams against each other across five different stages in the air, on the ground, and at sea.
Reaching each new stage escalates the conflict. Attackers can increase their cash reward by stealing hard drives from servers set up at each stage, while Defenders get a boost if these remain untouched. Finding and delivering a supply truck can upgrade the Attacking team’s Rogue plane that’s available on respawn with extra armor, speed, and weapon modifications — and both teams can utilize the cataclysmic Orbital Cannon Terminal to rain fire down from above.
Enter the fray by heading over to the blip outside of Fort Zancudo or by opening your iFruit > Quick Join > Series Modes > Assault on ATT-16.
During its inaugural week, Assault on ATT-16 will award 2X GTA$ and RP, while winning two times will complete the Weekly Challenge and result in a GTA$100,000 bonus. You can also measure your success with dedicated Pause Menu Awards.
Beginning this week, we are also rotating Series Modes to improve matchmaking and make room for new additions. As always, let us know what you want to see more of by making your voice heard via our GTA Online Feedback page.

LIFE IS STRANGE: DOUBLE EXPOSURE Max Caulfield, photographer-in-residence at the prestigious Caledon University, discovers her closest new friend, Safi, dead in the snow. Murdered. To save her, Max tries to Rewind time – a power she’s not used in years… instead, Max opens the way to a parallel timeline where Safi is still alive, and still in danger! Max realizes the killer will soon strike again – in both versions of reality. Only Max can Shift between the two parallel timelines to solve and prevent the same murder.
