Fire Emblem Engage update 1.1.0

Fire Emblem Engage will start launching in just a couple of hours starting in some regions, and Nintendo and Intelligent Systems have prepared a version 1.1.0 day one update.

You’ll want to download this one if you have any interest in the online features or Expansion Pass. Both will be properly supported after the update is installed.

The full patch notes for the Fire Emblem Engage version 1.1.0 update are as follows:

Fire Emblem Engage art

Nintendo has published the second portion of its Fire Emblem Engage developer interview, this time focusing on the game’s art. As part of this, we get to hear about how Mika Pikazo was brought on as the game’s illustrator.

The interview features director Tsutomu Tei and producer Masahiro Higuchi plus Nintendo’s Genki Yokota and Kenta Nakanishi. Read what they had to say below.

Fire Emblem Engage Edelgard Dimitri Claude

Nintendo and Intelligent Systems are highlighting the Expansion Pass for Fire Emblem Engage one again today, and has introduced Edelgard / Dimitri / Claude. This comes courtesy of the Japanese Twitter account and SatsumaFS.

This trio, known as the Three-Pronged Emblem, is a bracelet with three people inside. You can read more about how they play in battle below.

Original (12/25): Nintendo has come out with its latest trailer for Fire Emblem Engage, this one clocking in at eight minutes long. Currently it’s only available in Japanese, but if past videos are anything to go by, we could be seeing an English counterpart in the near future.

For a quick refresher on the game, read the following overview:

Fire Emblem Engage Emblems origins pairing marriage

The developers of Fire Emblem Engage have discussed the origins of the game’s Emblems mechanic, and how it came about when thinking about the marriage systems of past entries in the series. This comes from an official interview with director Tsutomu Tei and producer Masahiro Higuchi plus Nintendo’s Genki Yokota and Kenta Nakanishi.

According to Nakanishi, with the marriage system in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, it took quite some time before players could actually marry someone and have children. The Emblems mechanic for Fire Emblem Engage was ultimately about wanting to have “pairing” gameplay that can be enjoyed more casually. 

Here’s the full excerpt from the interview:

Fire Emblem Engage reviews

Fire Emblem Engage is almost here, and reviews for the game are now starting to surface. Nintendo lifted an embargo it had in place moments ago.

This title is the latest entry in the series and the second for Switch following Fire Emblem: This time around, the goal is to collect 12 Emblem Rings and bring peace back to the Continent of Elyos. Once of the main hooks is the ability to team up with heroes from past Fire Emblem games including Marth, Roy, Ike, and more. Of course, the turn-based, tactical combat the franchise is known for is still present here.

Here’s a roundup of reviews for Fire Emblem Engage:

Fire Emblem Engage Tiki

The next character introduction is here for Fire Emblem Engage, and this time we’ve got a look at Tiki – who stems from the game’s Season Pass. The details were posted on the Japanese Twitter account. Translations were provided by Serenes Forest.

Tiki, known as the Dragon Princess Emblem, is an innocent girl that is descended from Divine Dragons. Here’s some information about how she works in battle:

Fire Emblem Engage ROM leak

Fire Emblem Engage won’t be around until later this week, but there’s been a leak for the game’s ROM and it’s circulating online (which we won’t be sharing here). Unfortunately, this appears to be fairly typical for Nintendo. Most of the company’s major Switch titles tend to leak at or before launch.

While that isn’t exactly the best news, there is some interesting information that did emerge from the Fire Emblem Engage ROM leak. It turns out that the game is built with the Unity engine, which is something that most probably wouldn’t have guessed. To compare, Fire Emblem: Three Houses was developed with the Dynasty Warriors engine.

Fire Emblem Engage Pandreo

Nintendo and Intelligent Systems are almost done introducing the cast of Fire Emblem Engage, but we do have another one today – this time for Pandreo. Information was shared on the Japanese Twitter account with SatsumaFS offering up translations.

Pandreo, a royal priest of Solm, loves fun things and is always thinking about new parties. Despite seemingly carefree, he’s deeply religious, and a faithful clergyman.

Fire Emblem Engage Heroes Order of Heroes

There’s a unique opportunity coming up to receive the Order of Heroes item set in Fire Emblem Engage by playing Fire Emblem Heroes. The set includes the Fólkvangr weapon, Fensalir weapon, Nóatún weapon, Alfonse S-rank Bond Ring, Sharena S-rank Bond Ring, and Anna S-rank Bond Ring. Also, Nintendo will be providing five Orbs in Fire Emblem Heroes.

Assuming you’ve already completing the Preface (in-game-tutorial) and can access the home screen, to get involved, first tap the Quests & Missions icon on the bottom right, and then click the coin icon in the upper right. Be sure that you’ve linked a Nintendo Account if you haven’t already. Then select the Nintendo Switch Game Bonus Code + 5 Orbs reward on the My Nintendo Rewards screen and redeem it.
