About the game
Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era is the official prequel hailing back to the origins of the genre-defining, critically acclaimed series of turn-based strategy games. Traverse a vibrant and living fantasy world full of wonders and dangers, build magnificent capital cities, raise massive armies and clash in epic, highly tactical battles of heroes and mythical creatures. Play solo with a new campaign, multiple single maps and limitless randomly generated scenarios, or engage in battle of wits and magic with other players — rivals or allies — in multiplayer mode. Explore the map solo or in multiplayer, triumph in iconic battles and establish peace on a continent where it was never an option.
Key Features- An epic single-player campaign set on the continent of Jadame, where rival factions must unite to face the demonic insectoid swarm known as the Hive.
- 3 multiplayer game modes: Classic (multiple heroes and map exploration), One-Hero mode (only one hero, and their death means defeat), Arena (quick battles with hero upgrades).
- 6 unique factions: Temple, Necropolis, Sylvan, Dungeon, Hive and Schism.
- New custom tools for the community: create your own Heroes of Might & Magic single maps and multiplayer templates (coming during Early Access).
- Matchmaking, ratings, and leaderboards for all modes.

For Streamers
A ready-made broadcast overlay for streamers, casters and tournament organisers: a full set of layered graphics that puts a match of Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era on air without designing a layout from scratch. Drop the layers into OBS in the order shown in the included guide, add your own text and camera sources, and the scene is done.
The pack covers four scenes — Gameplay (game window in a decorated frame with a match status top bar and a bottom info panel), Gameplay + cams (the same layout with a side column for one or two caster cameras), Cams (a talk screen for up to three cameras under the game logo) and Message (a Starting soon / Be right back screen with a plate for a countdown timer).
What's inside- Main frame: border, plus a bottom info panel in two versions — clean, or with the developer and publisher logos.
- Match status top bar with slots for player nicknames, series format, score and map name, and left / right faction emblems for all six factions (Temple, Necropolis, Sylvan, Dungeon, Hive and Schism).
- Camera frames: a central set (three styles, front and back layers, plus a background) and a sidebar set (three styles and a background).
- Decorative art sidebars, message background and timer plate.
- Game logo and a developer & publisher logo lockup.
- Previews of all four scenes and layer-order reference sheets showing exactly how the elements stack.
Everything ships as PNG with transparency, in 1x (1920×1080) and 2x (3840×2160), so the overlay stays crisp on both 1080p and 4K canvases. Text — nicknames, caster names, score, map name, timer — is not baked into the images: add it as your own text layers or browser sources, in any language.
You are welcome to use these assets in streams, videos and tournament broadcasts, including monetised ones. Please don't alter the logos or use them in a way that implies an official partnership. Need something that isn't here — an extra frame variant, a different aspect ratio, source files for a bigger event? Write to marketing@unfrozen.studio and we'll help.
