Two more summoning events have started up today in Fire Emblem Heroes.
First up is Summoning Focus: Heroes with Desperation. A trio of Heroes with Desperation skills are available as part of a 5-star summoning focus. Such characters can make a follow-up attack before their foe can counterattack if their HP is under a certain percentage and they initiate combat.
Summoning Focus: Weekly Revival 13 is also live. 5-star Heroes who appeared before the start of Book II are present, and the focus lineup changes each week.
Nintendo has a bunch of maintenance planned for this coming week. Several sessions are planned, all of which will impact Switch.
Here’s the full schedule:

It’s no secret that Starlink: Battle for Atlas underperformed. Compared to Ubisoft’s big franchises like Assassin’s Creed, the game failed to meet sales expectations. The disappointing performance also resulted in physical toys no longer being produced.
Ubisoft EMEA executive director Alain Corre told MCV that the company was “expecting more of Starlink”. That being said, he had plenty of positive things to say, including the fact that current players have been happy with the final product.

Daemon X Machina was first announced at E3 2018. The game then returned again for this year’s show, where a final September launch was announced. That comes off of a demo from earlier in 2019 in which players were able to share feedback with the development team.
A little while back, 4Gamer spoke with producer Kenichiro Tsukuda about Daemon X Machina. Before giving a brief status update on development progress and how the story is being treated, Tsukuda went in-depth about improvements and changes that have been implemented after fielding comments of those who tried out the demo. Tsukuda shared some interesting tidbits here, such as how the small text in Prototype Missions only happened due to an error in the code.
