The developers have outlined a roadmap that includes the remainder of the single-player campaign, additional pre-made scenarios and map templates, a Spectator Mode, and improvements to the Map Editor. Community feedback will also shape ongoing development, though no specific timeline for these additions has been shared.The franchise has been dormant since Might &amp; Magic Heroes VII in 2015, which received mixed reviews and saw its support wind down relatively quickly. That rocky history makes Olden Era's early reception all the more notable; players appear willing to give the series another chance under new stewardship.Pricing and AvailabilityHeroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era is available on <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/3105440/Heroes_of_Might_and_Magic_Olden_Era/">Steam</a> and the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.microsoft.com/store/productid/9p2tfccrkmrd">Microsoft Store</a> at a base price of $39.99 (£34.99 / €39.99 / ¥3,980).
