Ubisoft has handed over the upcoming fantasy strategy game, Heroes Of Might And Magic: Olden Era, to another publisher, Hooded Horse, known for games like Manor Lords and Norland.
Unfrozen, the studio developing the game, is excited about this partnership, with Hooded Horse taking over day-to-day publishing operations, although Ubisoft remains the owner of the Heroes IP.
The move to transfer publishing responsibilities could be tied to Ubisoft's internal restructuring, potentially serving as a cost-cutting measure amidst delays and financial considerations.
Heroes Of Might And Magic: Olden Era is a turn-based strategy prequel aiming to return to the series' roots, with early access delayed until later this year.
