Nintendo has officially unveiled a new limited-time banner for its popular mobile strategy title, Fire Emblem Heroes, with the introduction of “Edelgard: Of Rivals.” Launching on December 25, 2025, this highly anticipated event will feature Edelgard, the prominent character from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, as the newest Emblem Hero.
The banner is set to run until January 16, 2026 (UTC) on both iOS and Android platforms. Fire Emblem Heroes, developed and published by Nintendo, continues to expand its extensive roster since the game's initial release in February 2017.
The mobile title has consistently delivered fresh content through regular updates and special banners, engaging fans of both the Fire Emblem franchise and the mobile gaming community.
Over the years, Fire Emblem Heroes surpassed $1 billion in global revenue, affirming its place among the top-grossing titles on the App Store and Google Play. The “Edelgard: Of Rivals” banner brings Edelgard, one of the most influential characters from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, back into the spotlight as a 5-star Emblem Hero.
She will be joined by a selection of other 5-star heroes that previously headlined major banners.
Notably, the appearance rate for these heroes has been increased to 8%, giving players a stronger chance to obtain powerful units during the event. A newly released trailer showcases Edelgard’s unique skills and highlights her impact in battle, cementing her status as a must-summon character for both new and longstanding players.
Nintendo stated that the addition of Edelgard is part of their ongoing commitment to deliver exciting content and celebrated fan-favorites to the Fire Emblem Heroes community.
