A new Tactics Drills map has been added to Fire Emblem Heroes. “Test the Ruler of Flame” can be found in the Grandmaster section; beating it gets you one orb.

Also, an issue with Aether Raids has been discovered following the 3.5.0 update. Here’s how the in-game notice describes it:

When entering a Rematch battle from Aether Raids – Defense Results, your opponent may be treated as Tier 1 with a Level 1 Fortress (D) and a defensive team made up of 4 Heroes. (The opponent’s actual Tier does not change). As this happens, players in higher Tiers have an especially higher risk of losing defensive battles due to this larger Tier gap.

Intelligent Systems is currently working on a fix for this. As a temporary workaround, if you want to make sure that your Mythic Heroes appear on your defensive team, you should put them in the first four slots of your team.

The Switch already has tons of otome visual novel games, and one more will soon be joining them. Gensou Maneji – Rêver d’un manège (“fantastical circus”, roughly translated) was announced today by Mages. Players take on the role of Emma with the goal of romancing one of six handsome men at a travelling circus. The game will be released sometime this year in Japan. A Western release hasn’t been confirmed so far. 

Here’s the announcement trailer:

Having introduced all of the major characters over the last couple of days, the official Japanese Fire Emblem Twitter account has now started introducing the various side characters of Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Hubert, voiced by Katsuyuki Konishi, is a member of the Black Eagles. The strategist of the house, he is the son of an influential marquis and has served Edelgard since childhood. He will do whatever it takes to help her. According to Edelgard, Hubert may come across as a bit cold, but he is actually very reliable.

Here’s a brief clip of him talking to Byleth, in which he thanks him for saving Edelgard:

Nippon Ichi has published the opening movie for their upcoming survival game To All Mankind:

They also released some more information on the game, detailing the gameplay flow you’ll be going through (credit goes to Gematsu for the translation):

After waking up at the hotel she is staying at with the other girls, main character Kyouka will explore the ruins of Akihabara, foraging for useful items and supplies. Since Akihabara is a popular tourist destination, she will occasionally find foreign currency – the coins can be used for things other than as spending money though. You will also be able to scavenge various electronic items for parts such as batteries.

You also need to prepare food every day. Depending on what ingredients you use, you also get additional benefits such as increased dexterity or a better chance of finding items. You can choose to forego eating food for a while in order to have time to explore, but being hungry and tired eventually affects your performance in a negative way. There are a variety of recipes you can prepare, and more can be acquired throughout the game.

Additionally, Nippon Ichi provided some details on the game’s downloadable content. For 500 Yen, a new character will join the group about halfway through the game: Sukhaya Shuka. Half-Japanese and half-Russian, this 12 year-old girl is a prodigy who enjoys rakugo and is already enrolled in university, studying aerospace engineering. She is very knowledgeable and can see things the other girls can’t.

Finally, here are some new screenshots of the game:

To All Mankind will launch in Japan on June 27. A Western release hasn’t been announced yet.
