Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era Patch Notes Hub & Roadmap of Updates

Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era has hit the ground running, successfully revitalising the Ubisoft-owned fantasy turn-based strategy-RPG series. That said, it’s released into early access, so plenty of patches and bigger updates will be coming in the future. With this page, you can keep track of every HoMM: Olden Era patch and update released so far.

Published by Hooded Horse (in collaboration with Ubisoft) and developed by the passionate team at Unfrozen, the latest HoMM delivers what longtime fans of the series wanted for years while implementing several modern upgrades (beyond the looks) and quality-of-life enhancements. Its narrative campaign and new modes also expand the IP’s horizons, and considering it’s still in Steam Early Access, we’re expecting more of the good stuff in the future.
