Nintendo and Intelligent Systems have announced a new update for Fire Emblem Heroes. In early May, the mobile title will be updated to version 3.5.0.

The update features Friend Mock Battles in Aether Raids, new weapon skills and weapons to refine, more Heroes in Heroic Grails, and Equip Seals screen improvements. We have the full details below.

Nintendo and Intelligent Systems are continuing to highlight some of the characters in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Today’s introduction is for Dimitri, who is played by Kaito Ishikawa in the Japanese version.

Dimitri is not only a future king, but also the leader of the Blue Lions, Prince of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus. He’s a sincere man who is the embodiment of chivalry. That being said, he carries a little bit of darkness hidden behind his smiles.

The previously announced Children’s Day Voting Gauntlet has now kicked off in Fire Emblem Heroes. Here are the first-round matchups:

  • Tiki: Dragon Scion vs Kana: Dragon Spawn
  • Lugh: Anima Child vs Ylgr: Fresh Snowfall
  • Fae: Divine Dragon vs Yune: Chaos Goddess
  • Nino: Pale Flower vs Delthea: Free Spirit

As always, the Voting Gauntlet consists of two rounds with each lasting two days, for a total of six days.

The Golden Week celebration is also still ongoing. A new set of Allegiance Battle quests has gone live, awarding you with First Summon Tickets for the Choose Your Legends Hero Fest Summoning Foci. The quests will be available for one week.

The official Japanese Fire Emblem Twitter account introduced Edelgard today, one of the main characters of Fire Emblem: Three Houses. The future heir of the Adrestian Empire, she leads the Black Eagles house at Garreg Mach Monastery. In the Japanese version, she is voiced by Ai Kakuma. The Twitter account also shared the brief clip below in which Edelgard introduces herself to Byleth:

Over on the official Japanese Fire Emblem Twitter account, Sothis from Fire Emblem: Three Houses is introduced. She’s voiced by Tomoyo Kurosawa in the Japanese version.

Sothis is a mysterious girl who appears in the hero’s dream. She saves the protagonist using her powers to remind time. After this happens, they are able to communicate as if she was in his head. However, only the protagonist can see her. Sothis lost her memories, and although she may look like a little girl, she speaks more like an old woman.

Here’s a brief clip for Sothis:

A bunch of different events have kicked off in Fire Emblem Heroes today.

First up, to celebrate Golden Week, nine events have gone live. These include log-in bonuses, special maps for ten days straight, Hero Fest with special versions of the four Heroes from Choose Your Legends: Round 1 and 2, Aether Raids, and increased EXP and SP from battle.
