The developers took into account the experience of previous games in the franchise.
The creators of Heroes of Might and Magic Olden Era continue to communicate with journalists. During a recent interview with GamesRadar+, the CEO of Unfrozen studio revealed the approach to work.
Denis Fedorov explained:
The components of a good sequel are: one third old [ideas], another third - improvements, and a third of something new.
This refers to the "33 percent rule" of the creator of the Civilization franchise Sid Meier:
33% completely new features [functions], 33% - improvements to existing ones and 33% remain about the same.
This approach allows you to maintain balance: old fans will get some familiar elements, but fresh ideas can also be introduced into the project, which are potentially able to attract a new audience.
According to Fedorov, the developers at Unfrozen hope to create "something large-scale and at the same time fundamental"
The launch of Heroes of Might & Magic Olden Era in early access is expected in 2026, you can add the game to the wishlist Steam at the following link.
