Last night, Nintendo began distributing a new update for Fire Emblem Heroes. Players now have access to version 1.4.0, which adds in several new features.

Nintendo’s original patch notes were rather short. However, since then, plenty of additional information has been shared. Continue on below for a rundown of Tempest Trials plus other changes and additions.

What’s in Store for the 1.4.0 Update

Thank you for playing Fire Emblem Heroes. Here’s an update from the Fire Emblem Heroes development team about the new additions for ver. 1.4.0.

■ Tempest Trials
This special event will introduce a series of maps you must fight your way through from beginning to end, using a limited number of teams of Heroes.
If a Hero falls in battle, they can’t be redeployed until the end of the challenge, so be careful.

The last map of the series is a boss stage. Points will be awarded depending on how well you do in facing the challenge. Even if all of your allies are defeated, however, you can still receive points.
Collect points and earn rewards!

A new game has been discovered on the Switch eShop. It seems Bulbware’s Bulb Boy, a horror puzzle adventure, will launch on Switch months ahead of the other platforms.

French website JeGeekJePlay has reported it to launch on June 20 for a price of €7.99 / £7.19 according to a photo of the eShop itself. Furthermore, Nintendo Life has published that it will release this summer in all regions, so we suppose that previous date applies to North America as well.

Here’s the official Switch trailer, so you can see for yourselves how the game looks.

And here’s an overview from the eShop:
