New details have emerged about the Fire Emblem If card game, known as TCG Fire Emblem 0 (Cipher).

A photo from Japanese website Inside Games provides a look at the “Dark War Volume”. This has a download code for “The Prince of Altea, Marth” while the “Awakening Volume” starter deck contains a code for “The Swordsman Who Goes By Marth, Lucina”. Additionally, the booster box features a preview card of the next series of cards and a code to get “Pegasus Knight Minerva” in Fire Emblem If.

There are also plans to release “White Kingdom” and “Black Kingdom” card series based on Fire Emblem If. Other than that, a third series known as “Trace of Blue Flames” is due out at some point.
