Amidst Frost and Insanity: A Faction Splits Away
In the realm of Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era, an enigmatic force is emerging—intimidating, extraordinary, and far from ordinary. The Schism have distanced themselves from the Alvar, the dominant power in Jadame, and established their own society. Their mission: to uncover a radical remedy for the perils posed by the Hive—regardless of the consequences.
Removed from the hubs of civilization, the outcasts have constructed a new dominion in icy valleys and jagged frozen peaks. In this place, a rigid order exists, defined by knowledge, steadfast discipline, and an obsession with unraveling the ancient practices of their Vori forebears. However, what they unveil is not merely knowledge, but a magic that perilously flirts with madness.
“Tentacles, Ice Sorcery, and Taboo Rites” – How the Schism Will Divide Opinions
The latest trailer, showcased by Hooded Horse, Ubisoft, and Unfrozen, offers a glimpse of what lies ahead. The leaders of the Schism command a fearsome variety of ice sorcery that can not only immobilize the battlefield but also hinder their foes’ powers. Their sinister incantations conjure nightmarish creatures—entities that could have emerged directly from a Lovecraftian horror.
The developers state, “enthusiasts of Lovecraft, forbidden rites, ice sorcery, and tentacles” are guaranteed a fulfilling experience. Indeed, the faction embodies those dark traits that equally captivate and unsettle players. With a blend of merciless dominance and overwhelming forces, the Schism strive to overpower their adversaries. This strategy introduces an eerily thrilling new dimension to the series.
A release date for Early Access on Steam has not been revealed yet. Nevertheless, Ubisoft is eyeing October 9: The anniversary stream marking the series’ 30th anniversary might disclose not only a launch date but potentially a surprise release. Who knows—perhaps the icy onslaught of the Schism will arrive sooner than anticipated.
