- Моддер перенес фракции из Heroes III в Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era - 7 October 2026
Моддер под ником CaptainHammerX продолжает работу над масштабной модификацией Golden Era для Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era, призванной объединить новую часть серии с классической Heroes of Might and Magic III. В свежей демонстрации автор показал, как перенесенные фракции, города и существа выглядят непосредственно в игре. Изначально проект строился вокруг идеи добавить в Olden Era армии в стиле HD-2D, основанные на фракциях Heroes III. Однако со временем мод заметно разросся. В актуальной версии представлены Замок, Оплот, Башня, Инферно, Некрополис, Темница, Цитадель, Крепость, Сопряжение, Причал, Фабрика и Bulwark. Для 12 пользовательских фракций подготовлены полноценные трехмерные сцены городов, созданные на основе оригинальных иллюстраций Heroes III. Существа также получили 3D-модели и анимации, основанные на движениях юнитов из классической игры. На карте приключений появилис…
- Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era получила крупный хотфикс исправляющий турниры, локализацию и сеть - 3 October 2026
Разработчики Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era выпустили хотфикс v.0.81.04. Обновление исправляет проблемы с турнирными боями, включая случаи, когда они не загружались или не начинались, а также вносит правки в локализацию. В игре появился индикатор, показывающий, когда взаимодействие с героями или объектами недоступно, а также четыре новые реакции. В лобби и шаблонах исправлена ошибка, из-за которой турнирный бой не загружался, если первая дата турнира приходилась на первый день игры: теперь его нельзя выбрать при планировании. Также исправлена ошибка, из-за которой турнирный бой не начинался, если бои шли один за другим, и поправлено отображение количества альянсов в шаблонах. На арене устранено наложение подсказок для «Пространственных силков» во время драфта. В бою исправлена ошибка, из-за которой отряды под действием «Разложения» не могли атаковать в ближнем бою. В локализации д…

- Для HoMM: Olden Era вышло крупное обновление, добавляющее режим, которого игроки ждали с момента выхода - 30 September 2026
Всего через несколько недель после выпуска предыдущего патча студия Unfrozen представила ещё одно крупное обновление для Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era. Самым важным нововведением в версии 0.81.02 стала долгожданная система альянсов, позволяющая игрокам объединяться с друзьями как в PvE, так и в PvP-режимах. Теперь можно вместе выступать против компьютерных противников или соревноваться с другими командами — например, в дуэлях формата «2 на 2». Важно отметить, что разработчики не ограничились лишь общей целью для союзников. Игроки могут использовать ряд дополнительных механик, облегчающих координацию действий. Ключевые особенности: непрерывные одновременные ходы — союзники могут действовать параллельно, не дожидаясь завершения хода другого игрока; общий «туман войны» — участники команды видят открытые друг другом области карты и планируемые маршруты передвижения союзников; обмен р…
