The legend awaited by strategy enthusiasts since it was announced is returning. Publisher Hooded Horse and developer Unfrozen have announced that Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era, the latest installment in a 30-year legacy, will enter Early Access on April 30.

The game, which we were excited about with the previous Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era announcement, serves as a prequel to the original 1995 game in the series. The development team states that they are honored to add a new chapter to the legend of our childhood after more than 10 years since the last main game.
