Heroes of Might & Magic, Ubisoft’s long-running turn-based strategy series, is returning for an eighth mainline instalment in 2025, just in time to celebrate the series’ 30th anniversary.
Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era – which will be the first new core series entry in nearly a decade – serves as a prequel to the entire fantasy saga, exploring its origins across a non-linear campaign as players journey to Jadame, a “mysterious continent in turmoil” that’s been mentioned but never explored in previous games.
“Traverse a vibrant and living fantasy world full of wonders and dangers,” teases Olden Era’s announcement, “build magnificent castles, raisemassive armies and clash in epic and highly tactical battles of heroes and mythical creatures.”
Jadame is set to feature unique factions, biomes, and creatures – all presented in a “refreshed visual style that harks back to the vibrant and magical beginnings of the saga” – alongside new combat mechanics, including active abilities for heroes and creatures, a new faction-based perk system, and more.
