Final Faction Revealed for Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era
Unfrozen Studio, the team behind the highly anticipated Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era, has finally pulled back the curtain on the sixth and last playable faction for the game. Dubbed "Schism," this new addition promises to be a truly unique force within the world of Jadame, featuring a blend of traditional fantasy and something far more unsettling.
The reveal of Schism comes with a teaser that’s sure to raise eyebrows. Hailing from a snow-covered region, this faction’s army isn't just made up of familiar bipedal creatures. It also includes mysterious beings that seem to have stepped right out of a Lovecraftian horror story. According to the developers, the Schism faction will focus on "unavoidable damage and ability control," suggesting a playstyle that aims to relentlessly wear down and manipulate opponents.
A Look at All Six Factions
The introduction of Schism completes the initial lineup of factions that players will command or face in Olden Era. Unfrozen Studio has been steadily revealing these distinct groups, each with its own unique theme and mechanics. The previously announced factions include:
- Haven: The classic knights, representing order and righteousness.
- Necropolis: A legion of undead and vampires, masters of dark magic and decay.
- Forest Alliance: Elves and nature spirits, embodying the wild power of the forests.
- Dungeon: Dark elves and other subterranean creatures, lurking in the shadows of the underground.
- Swarm: Monstrous insectoid and demonic beings, overwhelming foes with sheer numbers and aggression.
With Schism's eldritch influence and snowy origins, the diversity of factions in Olden Era is set to offer a wide range of strategic choices and replayability.
Coming to Early Access in 2025
Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era is currently in development and is slated for an Early Access launch on Steam by the end of 2025. The game promises to deliver a turn-based strategy experience reminiscent of the classic Heroes of Might & Magic series, with modern twists and a fresh narrative. Players can also look forward to Russian text localization being available upon release.
The reveal of the Schism faction adds another layer of anticipation for fans of the genre. With its unique aesthetic and stated focus on damage and ability control, it’s clear that Unfrozen Studio is aiming to provide a varied and engaging strategic experience. As the game inches closer to its Early Access debut, players can expect more details on how these distinct factions will clash in the realm of Jadame.
