This month PC Gamer gets world-exclusive access to Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era<\/a>, the thrilling new entry in the legendary high-fantasy turn-based strategy series. In the 1990s and early 2000s the Heroes of Might and Magic games were renowned for their deep, engrossing tactics and lore, as well as addictive one-more-turn gameplay. And now, after more than a decade of lying dormant, this grand old series returns in the form of Olden Era, a prequel to the groundbreaking original games.<\/p>\n

For our detailed cover feature, PC Gamer speaks exclusively with Unfrozen, the developer of Olden Era, about its journey in creating this new instalment in the Heroes of Might and Magic series, as well as how Olden Era pays tribute to the much-loved original games while evolving them for a modern gaming age. This is a must-read for strategy fans.<\/p>\n
