Fire Emblem Heroes

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!

Update: Also announced that downloads have surpassed 20 million.


Original: A Pokemon Duel update is now available, including maintenance and a few changes for a few of the figures. You can check out the specific changes to the figures here.

Finally, these figures have been added:

– EX Figures: Swampert, Seismitoad & Suicune
– R Figures: Marshtomp, Stunfisk & Sharpedo

Apple offered a first look at a new advanced augmented reality tool known as ARKit at the Worldwide Developers Conference today. As part of the demonstration, Pokemon GO was featured. The mobile game will use the new tech, which allows for “fast, stable motion tracking,” along with scale estimation and ambient lighting estimation for a more immersive augmented reality experience.

It’s unclear how specifically Pokemon GO will be taking advantage of ARKit. Apple also did not say when the technology is releasing, and it’s currently unsupported by the company’s current hardware. Still, Pokemon GO players can look forward to improved AR functionality in the future.
