Patch 14: More PvE Content and Future Plans!

Greetings, Heroes!

While the lazy days of summer and the holiday season are fading behind us, our momentum certainly isn’t slowing down. We’ve teamed up once again with Ana from Heroes Take Turns to bring you an in-depth discussion covering upcoming PvE experiences and a sneak peek at our upcoming Roadmap Patch!

If you prefer reading, we have broken down all the essential details right here. Let’s dive in!

Steam Reviews: Your Voice Shapes the Game

Before we explore the latest updates, we’d love to ask a quick favor. If you are enjoying your time with Olden Era, please consider dropping us a review on Steam. We read your feedback religiously—it serves as a vital compass for how the community feels about our work. Furthermore, positive reviews introduce curious newcomers to the fold. If you haven’t shared your thoughts yet, we would deeply appreciate your support!

Patch Frequency and Design Philosophy

Development is running at full throttle, which means you can expect a steady stream of PvE patches moving forward, introducing a rich variety of new maps and scenarios to master. Our most recent update delivered The Mysterious Island alongside a comprehensive wave of bug fixes and quality-of-life adjustments—be sure to check them out!

We also recognize that not every tweak resonates equally with everyone. The Heroes community is wonderfully diverse, with varied playstyles and preferences that occasionally clash. What thrills one group might leave another indifferent. Rest assured, we remain committed to listening closely to your constructive feedback and integrating it whenever possible. Keep those thoughts coming!

The Upcoming Patch

v. 0.80.49

Two meticulously crafted custom maps are joining the rotation: Prisoners and Broken Alliance. Both have undergone rigorous tuning to deliver a fresh, engaging PvE challenge.

Broken Alliance marks our very first custom map playable in Custom Lobbies and Hotseat mode. Here, you will clash with former allies to paint the territory in your faction’s colors. Beautifully crafted by Papyjama, this nostalgic masterpiece is bound to stir fond childhood memories for veterans while creating unforgettable first-time moments for newcomers.

Please note: The Broken Alliance map is exclusively accessible via the Lobby or Hotseat mode.

Meanwhile, the Prisoners scenario offers a thrilling narrative-driven adventure. Tasked with leading a search party, your mission is to track down local outpost commanders who mysteriously vanished near the shadowy woods. As you venture deeper into the timberlands, you’ll uncover eerie, unnatural phenomena. Steel your nerves and arm yourselves well—your only path to recruiting additional heroes in this scenario lies in locating their prison camps and setting them free.

This fresh patch goes live today, September 3rd.

Roadmap Patch Preview

That is far from all. Later this month, we will roll out our major Roadmap Patch, packed with highly anticipated features:

• Alliances system
• Advanced Random Map Generator enhancements
• An upgraded Emoji Wheel
• Matchmaking system overhauls
• Ranked system improvements
• A fresh Ranked ladder reset
• Assorted quality-of-life improvements

Additionally, a comprehensive balance patch will directly address long-standing community discussions. We are tackling the over-reliance on percentage-based damage and defense modifiers, which includes substantial overhauls to Battle Magic and Battlecraft mechanics.

This update will also introduce a complete rework of the Temple’s faction skill, pivoting toward a prayer mechanic. You’ve frequently noted that the Temple’s thematic identity should heavily center around their devotion to the Chalice, and these new options bring that vision to life.

We are also actively addressing the persistent bleeding issues affecting the Hive and Dungeon factions by introducing a dedicated new skill designed to mitigate them. This major balancing update will arrive via a dedicated beta branch shortly after the Roadmap Patch drops.

Looking even further ahead, the update following our Roadmap Patch will introduce entirely brand-new units to the roster. Furthermore, we are deeply invested in upgrading our Computer Opponents, significantly expanding their strategic repertoire. We will share comprehensive details regarding the smarter AI and incoming units in the near future.

We hate leaving you with a cliffhanger, so here is a quick visual teaser to tide you over. Remember, the Roadmap Patch arrives later this month!
