Fire Emblem Heroes Marks 8th Anniversary with Free Summons, QOL Enhancements

Nintendo continues to captivate loyal fans with their flagship franchises, and Fire Emblem Heroes is no exception. Now in its 8th year, this strategy RPG stands as a testament to longevity in the mobile gaming world, where shutdowns are all too common. To celebrate this milestone, the game is rolling out special quests and a free summoning event that are sure to excite gacha enthusiasts.

As part of the 8th Anniversary Celebration, players can look forward to summoning 5-Star Special Heroes. The Binding Worlds events are also getting an upgrade, allowing you to ally with two Heroes at once. Meanwhile, the Hall of Forms will now feature three skills of each type in its highest chamber, enhancing your strategic options.

For those engaged in the Arena and Arena Assault+, the tactical retreat feature has been expanded to allow up to three uses, giving you more flexibility in battle. And if you missed out on some heroes in the past, don't worry—the Legendary Revival 1 event brings back Past Legendary Heroes as 5-star Focus Heroes. Plus, if you summon 40 times or more, you can choose one of the 5-star Focus Heroes for free.

The Ver. 9.2.0 update is packed with even more exciting additions, all detailed in the official patch notes. If you're new or looking to optimize your gameplay, check out our handy tier list and reroll guide.
