The developers behind Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era are treating its upcoming 2026 Early Access release more like a full game than an unfinished taster because the team "don't want to waste" their chance at a good first impression, especially with a series that's been chugging on and off for 30 years.
Speaking to the PC Gamer magazine, senior dev Katya Prikhodko said the company is "treating this Early Access as a full release, because we know it is important for us to have this shot, and we don't want to waste it." Unfrozen apparently "want to be as prepared as possible, even with the small team that we have."
