The Hive is buzzing! Make a beeline to wishlist --> store.steampowered.com/app/3105440/Heroes_of_Might__Magic_Olden_Era/
if they are supposed to be demons, shouldn't just they be called inferno
also which type of demons, kreegan or sheog?
@@DarthX4 Hive is a new faction, based on the bee soldiers from Might and Magic VIII but enhanced with demonic powers.
Super! There will be a full reveal too about also that Hivemind thing? Faction skill may be?
The fact that it does not look that great... stings.
Looks nice, but the horse should've been something more insectile. Maybe a spider, bug or locust
I agree
Spider is more Dark elf (Llos) and Undead (Asha) thing. My voice for giant preying mantis.
@@nnnn8029 Sounds great. Could also be molten centipede, like demolishers from Factorio
It is still an inferno town, and the horse looks to me as a Nightmare. Which is thematicly acurate.
That said, i would consider a fire beetle as an alternative...
It's great that you're saying this, because these devs ARE listening to feedback ❤
Small complaint, I know: I wish that the mount they had was not a horse, but rather an infernal bug like the rest of the race seems to be.
Regardless, the design of the creatures displayed looks cool.
Особенно червь круто выглядит.
У меня ещë одна просьба к разработчикам. Раз уж вы тут нас читаете и присматриваетесь к советам))
В любой игре очень важно музыкальное и звуковое сопровождение. Так вот это касается не только музыки на мой взгляд. По опыту прошлых частей могу отметить, что хорошо запомнились " Сочные" Звуки ударов юнитов и во время критов с удачи например. Кроме того, очень важны приятные на слух звуки подбора ресурсов. Например бренчание золотишка и тд. Лайкните, если согласны
Tiny lava snail! I see you hiding in the battlefield scenery there
Imagine if that was what the mount was! A giant lava snail!
I got SO excited over the tiny lava snail!
there must be someone inmortal nearby...
@@arturoalarcondonate4034 oh that, that is good.
It reminded me of Terraria😅
A big missed opportunity is the hero steed, would be fun If Hive could provide some beetles or centipedes for their heroes to move across the map.
That means less visual consistency on a world map.
In HoMM V for exactly this reason they added those huge aura markers under units and heroes to help with that. IMHO it would look pretty ugly here.
@@andrzejnadgirl2029 They also have less music with all these reuse of HommV inferno tracks. Plus H5 was 3D and you could rotate the camera so it had harder to read map (I didn't had this problem but can understand that some players had). I don't think it would be such big problem with return to 2d environment. Plus some horse (four legged) like insect could be done If doing entirely different model could be too much work/money.
I am reminded of recently Early Accessed Silence of the Siren where heroes there had various mounts. I wish we would see that.
@@LandBark music is unfinished yet, they are only putting older tracks as placeholder, Romero (OG composer for the series) and Verasco (did some music for StarCraft 2, Bloodborne, Mass Effect, God of War and Mass Effect).
H5 camera was fixed a lot later on, in release it was terrible, in underground sections especially, there was too much vision obstruction but they eventually fixed it with the expansion pack I believe. Though this offtop aside, with the mounts, there is issue how clean and readable map can be and while it's not like constant issue I think that heroes standing out more in consistent way isn't a bad thing.
All the characters in this game have the same animations.
Love from Hungary. Keep up the good work!
Я тоже считаю, что маунт должен быть насекомо-подобным. И на читаемость карты это не повлияет. 5-ые герои были хорошо читаемы без всяких там лошадок. Я вообще бы хотел, чтобы у всех фракций были визуальные отличия как героев, так и боевых машин. В мечтах всегда было то, что каждая моделька на карте соответствует портрету героя. Это было бы вообще бомба
Oh now that you mention it, the Heroes 5 Inferno mount was just the buff looking demonic Hero walking around with armor and a massive axe
I have a mixed feeling about the art cartoon decision. I'd prefer a more natural look, I don't like the looks.
I can only assume the art decision was to emphasis more on the colours, to portrait more a fantasy theme... IDK, still I'd take something more natural looking.
The animations are gorgeous though.
Looks like a mobile game tbh.
My favourite faction. No random leds or crystals, just fitting fire. This carries enough spirit of Inferno, but is definitley distinct. Well done.
True first minimalistic design
Isn't Hive basically Inferno before they adapted to the world?
@@Feuerhamster Nah, in olden era Inferno is just chaos space marines. This is more like HoMM6-7 approach with hive and insects. There was even brood mother boss in HoMM7. It's odd why this sort of approach to Inferno faction is in old world setting but hey, it is what it is.
@@piotrkarp9562 Damn, they added stalkers in place of harpies too which was inspired by Might and Magic 8. I questioned it there, it could be reasonably questioned here too (as there are no devils, or at least some demons). Here it doesn't bother me only becausa at the same time, visual style is coherent and flaming enough. I thought they would not make an obvious mistake by inspiring this much with anything else than Heroes 3 and Heroes 5, I'm dissapointed with art direction overall. It is not tragic and judging by interviewes gameplay will be much better than art. But art direcion itself is such a riddle to me.
@ I'll be completly honest here: I don't think this game was intented do have place in Olden Era. This was pprobably changed mid production when Kickstarter for HoMM3 boardgame turned around as stunning success.
Hear me out: we have dark elves in Dungeon (we didn't even have them as a faction in old lore) and they worship dragons. Clearly 1:1 Ashan inspired. We have human faction with light elementals and light magic (again it's Ashan 1:1). Now, we have Inferno but without Kreegans. It's just hellish insects (exacly like it was portraied in HoMM 6 - 7). NOTHING here looks like olden era, not from design (more anie-like approach) or even lore perspective.
This could be fine... I guess (I don't like it tho, I prefer more fairy-tale / whimsical style than anime-like one) but it's just really insincere in my opinion. This is so odd, cause I don't have any proof for this but all of this literally sreams Ashan for me.
For a second I was thinking that lava snail is also a unit :)
I’m not sure how difficult this would be, but it seems like the battlefield is too small. At the moment, I’ve counted 9 hexes, and I have a feeling that even though all creatures occupy 1 hex on the battlefield, it might be possible to add one more in width and 2-3 in length. What do you think? Even considering that the parameters of the creatures, like their speed, are already balanced around the current battlefield size, I feel like creatures with artifacts that increase speed will already be able to reach the enemy too easily, which would simplify the game too much and remove the need for tactical planning. Also, I’m curious how a skill like "tactics" would work on such a small battlefield, if it’s even implemented.
I can’t wait guys!
"Zerg, here?" -Jim Raynor
I can't wait to buy it the first day it comes out!
А какая будет цена как думаете?
@@qw1ker567I hope it's 59.99 USD, but maybe 64.99.
Alright, you guys got my attention, we going old school HoMM?!?! who did you have to sell your soul too in order to get Ubisoft to let you make this. I'm so excited. Been wishing they would make a old school heroes game for years.
Remember that Ubi has a strong focus on the heroes brand, they chose a studio to deal with it, which is cheap and nothing else, they don't even expect that the project will be successful, they just hope that they won't be in the red.
You guys reviving one of my most beloved games ❤❤ thank you so much, I'm so looking forward to this
Cant wait for the release :) Thank you for bringing me a fidelity version of my childhood memories, I love you!
Did you change the map? The objects and locations seem to float on top of the background as opposed to feeling well integrated. They’re also too clean and shiny like a mobile app game. Rough them up more and blend them into the background map more.
it is oddly clean and more in the front of the screen then the ground isn't it. very disconnected.
Looks much better than was. For strategy game readability is N1 priority always.
Readability of the map is prio #1
@ Hard disagree, it was much better integrated as seen in the videos from Sept 2024. There was no problem with readability
@@leonie9248 That wasn’t an issue before.
Absolutely love the look of the creatures, can't wait for the first look inside the town!
You’ve got my heart ❤️
The next thing on my “wishlist “ is to be able to work with you as a dev/tester.
Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱❤️
I really like the idea of demonic insects, Inferno is one of my favorite factions (Especially in HoMM V), I really wish this faction to be playable/viable (unlike HoMM III and somehow IV, it was really bad). One QoL improvement could be made for mounts, in this case a huge insect for a ride would be amazing! Overall the creature look solid, very good job! Best of luck in your endeavors, Unfrozen Team !!! 🤘
Can't wait to play it with my son, (re)tried homm 4 recently with him, good times !
This gonna be the best game of 2025.
i had no idea this was even being made. looks awesome! cant wait for the inevitable Sseth video about it.
Cant wait for it. The game looks better and better
I can't wait to see what the units for the faction will be like.
Missed opportunity to ride an infernal bug!
So excited for the game, u can tell they put in a lot of effort
I can feel the love of the developers put into this game
Man, it feels so nice to finally be excited about inferno faction.
My GOTY right here.
Omg these 3 lava caterpillars on 0:10 are so cute!!
Btw I have a suggestion - when you pick resources on the map, there appears a simple yet pretty fading mist/light. However dead monsters on the map immediately disappear and it doesn't look well :/
Looks great, as per the usual. Looking forward to seeing the full faction in time, and how its various mechanics will make it stand out and shine. Now all I can hope for is that one of the heroes will ride a giant version of the lava snails.
I do realize this is still work in progress, BUT, I have the impression that everything is not sharp enough? As if I was waiting for textures to fully load, and they're not loading. And yes, I did set the highest reslution of the video xd Other than that it looks great, I am looking forward to this game!
So u turn inferno in bugs?
They always were just demonlike zergs
i wished demons to be just demons and not insects type creatures only! H5 demons were rly nice!
Well actually Heroes 3 demons were actual insectoic aliens with demonic attributes(horns, red skin, volcanic terrain)
@@michazmuda1477 nope, none of the H3 demons were insects... and the fact that they have horns, sorry but those are animal and not insect like features.
@@eusblack well you clearly didn't play Might and Magic RPG series, which show their true visuals. They simplify their looks in Inferno town to match art style with rest towns and town theme which was Hell.
It would be wonderful if the map could be illuminated at night by the lights from bonfires, settlements, castles, and other buildings. The map would look much prettier and less dark at night.
The ol’ gems are coming back
THIS IS CRAZY.... i love this
Dammn! Finally embracing Heroes like it should be
Can't wait for the game!
Ok this is very nice, big number of factions could make this game amazing and stand out, especially if they look that cool.
Sick. My favorite so far.
Oooh, demonic creepy crawlies, I love it. Also, a big fan of that lava snail scuttling around on the bottom of that combat map! Who says background elements can't be a highlight? 🔥🐌🥳
The horse is beautiful ❤
There are videos of the game out? nice!
have to watch em all!
Of all the HOM&M number 3 was buy far the best that i couldn't play any other. I played it decades ago and again with the remastered and i'm glad that this new upcoming one looks identical to number 3 😍
The game is getting more darkness and more layers of grey. Congrats continue. Its getting to be a really great game. I loved it
Hypeee can't wait for the release
still unsure how i feel about the more 2D mobile game look for the series but i’ll definitely be trying it out))
Great battlefield! I love that the hexes are back, also the hive horse is very cool
reminds me of h4 nightmare
Oooh, I like this faction! The designs look cool!
A Tease at our Demonic Buggies. Nice!
I have mixed feelings about it.
On one hand it looks like Inferno (demons, color scheme, fire) on the other like Fortress (insects).
Heroes 6 also had infernal worm and in might and magic rpg series, Kreegans(Heroes 3 Demons), were actually aliens but breeding like insectoids. Here Unfrozen seems to mix Heroes 6 and Heroes 3 Inferno towns.
Hello development team, I am a fan of the Heroes series, my favorite parts are 3, 5 and a little bit 7 (mod 1.37). I always liked the Inferno castle, and I will disagree with many, it has always been strong due to the summoning of demons, in all parts. I agree that the demonic insect models look good, although I personally liked the demons more. I beg you, leave the devils as tier 7 units, they were the highlight of this castle, without them do not call it Inferno.
It is very sad that there are no two other of my and not only, favorite castles - this is the swamp castle and the orc castle. I want to believe that they will definitely be added in the add-ons.
I also want to criticize the design of the death knight model at the necropolis castle. It seems to me that this is no longer a death knight, but some kind of rider on a hybrid horse and dragon ... It seems to me that the most iconic design of the death knight was in the 3rd part of the series. Please make it like this - black armor, big sword, black horse with red eyes (the best reference for this is the Nazgul from the Lord of the Rings by Peter Jackson). Guys, who agree with me, support with a like so that the development team can see this post.
God, I just can't wait anymore!!!
🔥🔥🔥
Wtf is the fire bug queen thing doing at around 0:47?...
Dunno but it gives me H5 succubus vibes.
I wish that mount was something more like an insect but still the visuals of the Hive looks nice
Original type of Kreegans?) Alien Hive?))
Looks great!
BTW, Will some neutral creatures from HOMM III appear? I so wish to see azure dragons! Guys please like me if you want to see Azure Death Incarnate too!
Выглядит потрясающе, не терпится попробовать. Согласен с комментаторами, что коня на карте необходимо менять на какого-нибудь жука/пчелу и ТД. ( Ещё мне кажется чуть-чуть надо выделить существ, ибо на лавровом биоме они немного сливаются как будто бы).
Предзакажу в первый же день)
всех героев этой игры одинаковые анимации
@@sapkaim3495 будем надеяться, что исправят) Может даже в раннем доступе. Я в любом случае за разнообразие пусть даже визуальное. Нет ничего плохого в мелких деталях и изменениях.
вы же рофлите насчет жука/пчелы да?
@@AlekseiGanzha а нужны лошадки, на которых ездят жуки?
Я просто всегда не понимал. Почему на карте носится рыцарь на коне, а на портрете изображён краснокожий адский демон)) Это круто?
Поддерживаю замену коня на жука-носорога какого-нибудь или паука. У Лесного союза по логике вещей на Олене должны герои передвигаться, а у замороженных морепродуктов (шестой фракции) я
даже не знаю на чем🤔 Просто сама фракция с летающими медузами/мозгами это сплошной сюрреализм. Там можно уже на чем угодно.😂
Adding my voice to the masses -- Hive should have an insect mount!
Can we please get the option for all players to do their turn simultaneously, when playing a multiplayer campaign with more than 2 people it can save so much time, allowing for a much more enjoyable experience.
This is a turned based strategy game for a reason. Play an RTS game if you want live action.
@Reealos it's a really good mod where you both take your turn at the same time, if you interact with the same object in the open world it restarts the turn. And I want it as an option not the default.
No no no, you have to exchange mails with the save files with eachother, that's the only way lol
Love the progress on this game
Yes Yes Yes! I feel the horse should be a bee or a bee-creature though!
Love the look and feel of the Hive from a short look, but like a lot of these comments I think the mount should either be a large insect (lava spider or fire beetle) or perhaps the hero itself should have a mount like lower half. Think Shadow Demons from Age of Wonders 2: Shadow Magic
Why does it look like a mobile game?
Ok, this is quite surprising. I'm very interested in their special mechanics. Hope the units will be varied considering the sheer potential of insects cuz the lava worm thing looks amazing as hell.
I just hope they will have their own vibrant colors since that is one of the main strengths of the HoMaM series, the crisp, recognizable and colorful unit sprites (and the overworld map looks great in that regard). But that might be the battle background being very similar in this case so I'm probably worrying for nothing.
However something comes up with this faction: the hive mount almost begs to not be a horse but some sort of bug or something to keep up with the insectoid/Zerg/Tyranids theme or their heroes to be monstrous bugs (or heroes based on the units sprites like in Heroes 6 and 7, like an angel hero, naga hero, cyclops hero, mostly contained in campaigns and special heroes) like Inferno heroes were unmounted hulking brutes in Heroes 5
can't wait to play this
Ah my childhood game! 💚💚
das sieht unfassbar geil aus
You've managed to hit the spot. Everything looks just right. Gogo team. Waiting for the release.
love it, cant wait!!!!!! heroes 3 vet here
I wish the hero was riding a giant flaming spider!
This design extremely reminds me of Guild Wars 1 and 2 Destroyers
And I freaking love itttttt
This is awesome! Though, others said, it would be epic if instead of infernal horse it would be something insect-like. You listened to your fans before, maybe they will inspire you once again! :)
This game really feels like a proper new modern Heroes of M&M. Kinda in the Heroes 5 style but with vibe of 3. This is where it should've gone instead of 6 and 7.
yeah company make mistakes but as they fix them. no problems? except why did we need wait like 5-10 years for it. /shrug.
@@dodang_9147 The wait was because it's the first time the devs are fans of the series and know what most other fans want from a Heroes game. Or at least it's the first time since V released.
@ My hope is that it improves on Heroes V. i still often play single player hero V every now and again. you have download mods so that your AI doesn't memory leak with infinity lag but hopefully they fix that in in this one. i hope map generator still exists and the usual regular features.
@@_Seru_ Eh some of the devs that worked at H7 were fans as well (i know because i knew 1 of them, since i used to talk with them a lot back then at the forums when H5 was still in the making). But i think just like with H6, Ubilol had too much control.
Hi there Unfrozen. Really interesting faction indeed. Looking forward to unravel its mysteries, because it looks like to me as a synergy heavy one👍
PS: I might be wrong but I really think it is 🙂
Really looking forward to the game. Just remember to give it enough time to not be a buggy mess upon release, then I'd be very suprised if Olden Era won't be a success.
it seems like Hive is an insect faction. not demon faction like Inferno in heroes 3
Heck yeah, give us as many factions as possible :)
Seems very nice really want to try them first , but i really really dislike they hero's and mount they shold be more insect looking maybe a the hero can be like the queen bug in the video so hero and mount are the same thing not two dinstic things , or something more alien insects looking , hate when we have cool monster daction and the heros are humanish thing
I really like the demon insect design :D
аккуратненько модельки выглядят, молодчинки
Honestly I really miss the classic demons, but as the game already looks liks a masterpiece, I won't complain. Maybe a classic skin pack or something similar for future DLCs?
Nice! Not a fan of the faction personally, prefer the classic Inferno, but I'll have to play it myself to form a real opinion.
wizard faction in homm5 used to have 4 sword guy. i think it is called Raijin or something. maybe it is suppose replace wizard type faction?
@@dodang_9147 Rakshasa was the guy, the 4-armed leotaur?
А чего у них герой на коне скачет, а не на жуке? Было бы антуражнее.
I think classic demons would be a better choice than demonic insects for the inferno faction.
It would not match the lore. Action takes place years or hundreds years idk before Kreegans (demons/aliens) invaded Enroth. And hive monsters actually are based in M&M RPG game
Wow - Zergs. I like them
Кстати почему на арене не оставлено место под боевые машины? Они будут? Будут ли они полноразмерные?
Тот же вопрос напрашивается. Что с боевыми машинами?
Ngl... I prefer classic demons
So hyped for this game! I love HoMM series. Let's hope we won't get disappointed.
Hell yeah, I really liked Inferno the most!
Me too, why do you ?
Wow so niceeee.. Units are beautifull... hope there can be some zoom effect to see them closely. Love you guys and sending much luck from Slovakia. Cant wait. If Ubisoft goes to shit please just rebrand the game and release it yourself later... if its possible. If you get into some trouble with ubi going down or what i would sugest to seriously contact Swen from Larian.. i think you would make a nice team together as two separate groups that help eachother.. or they can publish Elden Era for you. Swen loves older RPGs and Strategy games.
I have been a Ubisoft customer for a long time; I probably own almost all of your games. But I'm seriously thinking about leaving Ubisoft. How is it possible that in 2025 you're making a game like this without a Portuguese version? Do you know how many players you have in Brazil? How hard is it to add Portuguese subtitles? Not even in Heroes of Might & Magic III - HD Edition did you include Portuguese. Outrageous.
When will Temple reveal be? Feels kinda strange they weren't the first faction to be revealed.
I need my favorite fortress faction.
Gorgons and wyverns and furrys
Anything on release date yet? I see Q2 but is that late or early? Really excited to play this again, I grew up on this game!
I like how the devil (I think it is the faction's devil counterpart. It certainly is big and imposing enough to be) looks to be female. That is a first for the demon faction, but a welcome change. Gives it a bit of a vibe of an arachne I think.
Also, as other have said, the mount needs to change. If dungeon can have gorgons, Hive can have a bug... or at least some other form of horrid insectoid mount. Maybe a horse/insect hybrid?
I am curious if we will get all the resources back eventually? I am surprised that we have seen everything so far from the old ones - gold, ore, wood, gems, crystal, even mercury - but not sulfur? When I feel it'd go nicely with this faction especially.
LOVE IT
