Nintendo has officially announced the latest update for its popular mobile strategy title, Fire Emblem Heroes, set to introduce two highly anticipated heroes—Emblem Byleth and Legendary Elise.
The new in-game banner will become available to players worldwide from January 29, 2026, through February 16, 2026 (UTC), offering fresh gameplay opportunities and special rewards for iOS and Android users.
Fire Emblem Heroes, developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo, has continued to expand its roster and features since launching in February 2017 on the App Store and Google Play.
The game has become a staple in the mobile gaming landscape, celebrated for its rich strategic elements and frequent content updates drawn from the iconic Fire Emblem franchise.
According to Nintendo’s latest announcement, the forthcoming banner will spotlight Emblem Byleth—an homage to the protagonist from Fire Emblem: Three Houses—as well as the debut of Legendary Elise, a fan-favorite character originating from the Fire Emblem Fates series.
Players will have the chance to summon these high-tier heroes alongside other returning 5-star units from previous banners, all benefiting from an increased summoning focus rate of 8%. In a newly released promotional trailer, Nintendo showcases the unique abilities and special skills brought by Emblem Byleth and Legendary Elise, hinting at their tactical value for arena battles and PvE content.
The trailer underscores Nintendo’s ongoing commitment to delivering dynamic gameplay experiences and high-quality artwork for Fire Emblem Heroes’ engaged community. Since its initial release, Fire Emblem Heroes has surpassed $1 billion in revenue, making it one of Nintendo’s most successful mobile titles.
The game continues to receive consistent updates with new heroes, seasonal events, and gameplay enhancements.
These regular content drops, often previewed through Nintendo Direct presentations or via official trailers on the eShop and YouTube, help maintain an active, global player base. With the addition of Emblem Byleth and Legendary Elise, Nintendo further solidifies Fire Emblem Heroes’ reputation for bridging series history and fan-driv en demand.
This new banner is expected to generate excitement among longtime Fire Emblem fans as well as newer players looking to augment their teams with legendary and emblematic units. Players interested in participating in the upcoming summoning focus should mark their calendars for January 29, 2026, and stay tuned for additional announcements from Nintendo.
Fire Emblem Heroes is available for free download on Nintendo Switch (Japan only), iOS, and Android platforms, with optional in-app purchases.
