Hooded Horse Taking Over Heroes Of Might And Magic: Olden Era Is A Good Sign, But It WIll Still Take A Lot To Stick The Landing
It certainly has the nostalgia appeal, but is that enough to bring the franchise into the 21st century?
I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw the news that Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era will be published by Hooded Horse, rather than Ubisoft. As a longtime fan of the venerable strategy series, I’ve been cautiously optimistic about its revival with Iratus developer Unfrozen at the helm. Giving the project to Hooded Horse is a good sign, even if Ubi still holds the rights. After mourning Heroes’ presumptive death more than once, though, I can’t help but wonder if the game can be anything more than clutching at the shadows of the past.
