Salutations, Heroes!
While our team remains fully dedicated to developing the Teamplay mode, the Advanced Random Map Generator, and the other major milestones outlined in our development roadmap, we have heard your persistent requests for expanded PvE content loud and clear. Today, we are thrilled to pull back the curtain on a project we’ve been quietly perfecting behind the scenes.
It is our pleasure to announce that The Mysterious Island—a legendary fan-favorite map for Heroes III inspired by the classic Jules Verne novel—is officially coming to Olden Era. Even more exciting, its visionary creator, Papyjama, has joined the Unfrozen team as our newest Level Designer!
Papyjama’s exceptional talent for intricate level design has long impressed us. By integrating his creative vision, we are significantly boosting our ability to deliver high-quality, hand-crafted scenarios on a consistent basis. The Mysterious Island will serve as the first of many giant-sized, expertly detailed maps arriving in the game. We are honored to welcome such a brilliant member of our community into the fold. Please note that this map is currently in the final stages of polish, and we look forward to launching it in one of our upcoming major content updates.
Here is a brief word from Papyjama regarding his new role:
“I am absolutely thrilled and honored to contribute to Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era! Crafting immersive adventures for others has always been a lifelong dream—one I never truly expected to see realized. Thank you all for your incredible trust and support!”
To commemorate his arrival at Unfrozen, we’ve conducted an exclusive interview with Papyjama. Dive into the video below to discover the origins of The Mysterious Island and get a sneak peek at what’s in store for the future of Olden Era!
We remain deeply committed to refining our PvE offerings and continue to monitor your feedback with great interest. Safe travels across the lands of Jadame, and may the Four Scholars guide your path.
With gratitude,
The Unfrozen Team 💙
