Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era Teases a Roguelike Mode as It Hits 1 Million Sales

Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era has crossed 1 million copies sold in under a month of Steam early access, a standout success for the strategy RPG genre. The game had already shifted 250,000 copies and broke even on its development costs within its first day on sale, and it launched to roughly 90% positive Steam reviews. Its all-time concurrent player peak reached nearly 61,000, confirming strong momentum for the first mainline Heroes entry since Heroes VI in 2011.

Alongside the sales milestone, developer Unfrozen (published by Hooded Horse) used its early access roadmap to tease a new roguelike PvE mode. Details remain thin for now, with the studio promising more information later, but the mode signals an ambition to broaden Olden Era beyond its classic turn-based campaign and skirmish structure.

The roadmap also points to several additions that veteran Heroes players will recognize, including Underground terrain and a thieves guild system. Combined with reworks and other new modes, these plans position Olden Era as a game the developers intend to expand substantially during its early access period.
