Summoning Focus: Heroes with Close Def Skills is now live in Fire Emblem Heroes. A trio of Heroes with Close Def skills are available as part of a 5-star summoning focus.

You’ll be able to participate in Summoning Focus: Heroes with Close Def Skills until August 5.

This week’s issue of Famitsu has a big Fire Emblem: Three Houses developer interview. Director Toshiyuki Kusakihara of Intelligent Systems, along with Nintendo’s Genki Yokota, participated in the lengthy discussion.

During the interview, Kusakihara and Yokota discussed Fire Emblem: Three Houses origins, what it was like to work with Koei Tecmo, the game’s Japanese title, what to expect from the Expansion Pass, and more. You can read our full translation below.

Fire Emblem Heroes has replaced the male voice actor of Byleth, and the same could end up happening with Fire Emblem: Three Houses. This all came about after Christopher Niosi, who played the character’s role, admitted to abuse in a lengthy Tumblr post. That can be found in full here.

Niosi was originally featured in a recent trailer for Fire Emblem Heroes. However, the credit disappeared from the character page, and a new trailer has since been uploaded with re-recorded lines and a credit given to Zach Aguilar.

As things stand, Niosi is still featured in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. While some fans think Nintendo may end up replacing him in the Switch game, we’ll have to wait and see if that actually happens.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is out today around the world – which also means that a copy of Byleth: Tested Professor can now be claimed in Fire Emblem Heroes by all players who purchased Three Houses. If you use the same Nintendo Account on both the Nintendo Switch you bought Three Houses and in Fire Emblem Heroes, you simply need to claim your Gold Points for your purchase. This is done automatically if you bought the digital version; if you bought the physical version, you need to do this manually via the game’s menu on the Switch home screen. Shortly after claiming your Gold Points, you should find a copy of Byleth: Tested Professor in your in-game present list in Fire Emblem Heroes.

Also, here’s a brief video introducing him:

Earlier today, GameXplain hosted a live stream in which two hours of footage from Fire Emblem: Three Houses were showcased. Watch the full recording below.

Some of the first reviews for Fire Emblem: Three Houses are now starting to go live. We’ve rounded up a number of the early verdicts below.

A day-one update for Fire Emblem: Three Houses is now available. Nintendo has issued version 1.0.1, so those who have access to the game already should be able to download the patch.

As for what the update entails, one added element is the “Additional Contents” link on the title screen in which players can access the eShop. Also, the protagonist’s outfit can be changed in your room, which is reflected in the Monastery and battles. Those who purchase the Expansion Pass can put on the Officers Academy Uniform. Lastly, Nintendo says: “Several issues have been fixed to improve gameplay experience.”
