The Cypriot studio Unfrozen has achieved a milestone with the release of Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era in early access. In its first 24 hours, the game sold over 250,000 copies, a figure that fully recouped development costs. This early success marks a strong start for the new installment in the saga.
Unfrozen optimizes the graphics engine for stable matches 🎮
The Unfrozen team has worked on a modified version of the Unity engine, focusing on the fluidity of turn-based combat and resource management on large maps. The early access build includes memory optimizations that prevent performance drops in matches with up to eight players. Developers have confirmed weekly patches to adjust faction balance and fix bugs reported by the community. Mod support is already available in beta phase.
250,000 heroes and zero retirement plans for developers ☕
With the sales figures, Unfrozen can breathe a sigh of relief, if only for a moment. Now they have to deal with 250,000 players demanding that their favorite faction isn't broken, that the dragon isn't too slow, and that the next patch arrives yesterday. The good news is they no longer have to worry about profitability. The bad news is that the office coffee is going to run out sooner than expected.
