The first new Heroes game in over 10 years hits another major milestone ahead of launch
Hooded Horse and Unfrozen are delighted to announce that highly anticipated turn-based strategy game Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era has surpassed 1.5 million wishlists, making it the 9th most-wishlisted game on Steam.
Made for series veterans and newcomers alike, Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era is built on the familiar foundations of one of the most critically acclaimed strategy series of all time, introducing new and classic game modes for players to experience the game solo or with friends. Previously, Olden Era hit the 1-million-wishlist milestone in October 2025, following a hugely successful demo launch that saw 24,000 concurrent players, making it the 16th most-played Steam demo of all time.
“We’re deeply grateful to all fans of the legendary Heroes of Might and Magic franchise for their incredible support and kind feedback,” says Unfrozen CEO Denis Fedorov.
“It’s wonderful to see fans respond so strongly to the vision of the amazingly talented team at Unfrozen,” says Hooded Horse CEO Tim Bender.
Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era releases into early access for PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store on April 30, 2026. It will also be available via PC Game Pass on day one.
