The Fire Emblem Heroes Twitter account announced that a new summoning focus will go live on December 31st. They didn’t announce which units would be featured on the focus though, only posting the silhouettes of two units. However, a new patch for the game went live today and dataminers found out that it also contains all the data about that upcoming summoning focus. The four featured units in the focus will be Takumi, Azura, male Corrin and Camilla, all sporting traditional Hoshidan New Year’s outfits (i.e. kimonos). Takumi uses daggers, Azura is a flying axe user, Corrin uses bows and Camilla is a flying sword user.

Level-5 hasn’t really done much with Switch thus far. But in 2018, that should be changing.

4Gamer spoke with Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino, who spoke about plans for next year. He cited Inazuma Eleven Ares and Ni no Kuni II as upcoming titles, before going on to say that the company will focus on Switch in 2018 – or literally that they’ll put their power into the new console.

Hino also mentioned in his remarks that Level-5 is preparing a 20th anniversary title. However, it’s unclear if it has any relations to Switch.
