Fire Emblem Heroes teased players in an in-app update about the next update for the title arriving in late January. Here are some of the biggest additions to the mobile game:
New Weapon Type: Beast
Heroes with the Beast weapon type will arrive!
Legendary Effects and Mythic Effects
To allow for Legendary Heroes and Mythic Heroes to play a more active role, Legendary Effects and Mythic Effects are being expanded.
Mythic Heroes will receive a Legendary Effect when deployed with a Legendary Hero in battle outside of Aether Raifd during a season that matches both of their blessing types.
Aether Raid Update
Some structures will have their level cap increased and during placement the Auto Setup feature will prioritize Mythic Heroes and Heroes with blessings who match the current season.
They also mentioned expanding the functionality of the Merge Allies feature in February. You can find more information in the Fire Emblem Heroes app.
Please note that we are retiring the Wii U eShop charts as of the end of this year – that means this is our last one! Thanks to everyone who checked these out over the years.
This week’s Wii U eShop charts are as follows:
Q-Games and Spike Chunsoft have readied a new update for PixelJunk Monsters 2. Version 1.04 is out now, adding in further language support, improvements, and more.
The full patch notes are as follows:
This week’s issue of Dengeki PlayStation has an interview with Tales of Vesperia producer Yoshito Higuchi and Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition producer Yusuke Tomizawa. The two spoke about wanting to make the series multiplatform, interest in the team challenging itself for future entries, and more.
Here’s the roundup of tidbits shared:
Throughout the life cycle of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U / 3DS, Nintendo prepared extra Mii Fighter costumes. We haven’t really seen this yet for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but that could be changing in the future.
Over on Nintendo’s customer support website, there’s a page for available Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC. It specifically mentions “Mii Fighter Costume” as part of that downloadable content. It states that one costume is included for $0.75, with a release planned for 2019.
We do have a small bit of doubt that Nintendo will be going all out with Mii Fighter costume DLC for Smash Bros. Ultimate. Though it could very well happen, we can’t help but wonder if the customer support site is referring to Rex. That Xenoblade Chronicles 2 outfit can only be obtained by purchasing the Fighters Pass currently. The fact that the page lists just a single costume may point to a wide release of the Rex costume. Either way, we should know come next year.
