The latest live stream for the Fire Emblem 0 (Cipher) trading card game was held today. Arguably the biggest piece of news was the announcement of series 11. The Sacred Stones will finally be featured in addition to Fire Emblem Warriors. More cards from Shadows of Valentia will be included, too.
Also during the live stream, fans were treated to a sneak peek of sorts for the Fire Emblem 0 collaboration DLC in Shadows of Valentia. In-game models for Shade, Emma, Yuzu, and Yuzu were shown.
Kirie from Serenes Forest captured a ton of different images from the live stream, posted below. Along with what we already mentioned, there was talk and cards shown for series 10 and more.

Snake Pass is a significant game on Switch having been the first Unreal Engine 4 title on the platform. On the whole, it stacks up quite well against other versions. Technical director Pete Harrap posted a blog this week that not only offers insight into getting Snake Pass up and running on Switch, but also looks back on overall cross-platform development.
The image attached above is a “super early” look at Snake Pass during an internal game jam. Ultimately, the company decided to move forward with the project after selecting it out of a number of different pitches.
Harrap’s post later goes into Switch development specifically. Here’s what Snake Pass looked like on the system after just two days:
Blaster Master Zero introduced a new update last week. With the addition of the EX Character Mode stemming from version 1.2, Inti Creates is letting players experience the game with brand new characters. Each one will have new abilities and weapons.
Gunvolt from the Azure Striker Gunvolt series is the first character to be made available. He’ll be free until May 17. After that, you’ll need to fork over $2 for the character.
If you’ve yet to purchase Blaster Master Zero on Switch, you can obtain the DLC regardless. Simply visit the game’s eShop listing and scroll down to the “Downloadable Content” area. Select “EX Character Gunvolt”, and then the “Free Download” button. That’s it! Then if you decide to pick up Blaster Master Zero later on, Gunvolt will be available.
Thanks to Yaroo for the tip.
This past week, Fire Emblem Heroes added in a new update. Nintendo and Intelligent Systems are now distributing version 1.3.0 for the game.
Per usual, fans have been picking apart the latest update in hopes of finding out about any potential secrets. The big highlight appears to be the inclusion of a boat map. There are also new terrain maps featured in the recent Fire Emblem Heroes live stream. Speaking of the live stream, fans have located a new special map banner which depicts the same scenery as in that stream.
Other tidbits: Narcian is returning, a new tutorial image shows how to take advantage of terrain, a new debuff may be coming, the new maps are listed as Z11-Z20 while the others are V21-25, and new Starter Support maps could be on the way.
