Nintendo has unveiled the latest lineup for Fire Emblem Heroes with a new trailer, confirming the arrival of fan-favorite characters in a limited-time banner launching on January 6, 2026.
Developed by Intelligent Systems in collaboration with Nintendo, Fire Emblem Heroes has been a staple of the mobile gaming landscape since its original launch on the App Store and Google Play in February 2017.
The tactical RPG is best known for bringing together iconic characters from across the vast Fire Emblem franchise, offering engaging turn-based combat and frequent content updates that keep its dedicated player base consistently engaged. The upcoming banner, titled 'Rearmed L’Arachel & Aided Lute,' spotlights two standouts from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones—L’Arachel and Lute—joined by Morva and Franz, who are also beloved figures from the series.
The lineup for this high-profile event includes: - Rearmed L’Arachel: Justice-Armed - Morva: Darkling Warden - Franz: The Faithful - Aided Lute: Limitless Curiosity Alongside the new units, Fire Emblem Heroes will also roll out a fresh story chapter titled 'Expanding Ice,' offering new narrative content and gameplay challenges for both veteran Summoners and newcomers alike.
This dual offering of recruitable heroes and new narrative developments aligns with Nintendo and Intelligent Systems’ ongoing commitment to supporting Fire Emblem Heroes with meaningful, regular updates.
Nintendo's recent trailer showcases the unique abilities and skills these units bring to the battlefield, maintaining the game's tradition of staying true to each character’s original lore.
The company previously noted that these recurring character banners, which often introduce special versions of series favorites, remain among the most popular and most anticipated in the hero-collecting mobile RPG segment.
Past banners have contributed to Fire Emblem Heroes' financial success, with the title surpassing $1 billion in lifetime revenue by 2024 (Sensor Tower, 2024). “Each character’s special abilities were designed to resonate with long-time fans and create fresh tactical opportunities for all players,” Nintendo explained in the trailer release, underscoring their commitment to quality and authenticity in every update. Fire Emblem Heroes is available to download for free from the Nintendo Mobile eShop, the App Store, and Google Play.
The 'Rearmed L’Arachel & Aided Lute' banner—and its related story content—will be accessible globally starting January 6, 2026 (UTC).
Players can expect further event details on the official Fire Emblem Heroes website and social media channels as the launch date approaches. With this latest update, Nintendo and Intelligent Systems demonstrate the enduring appeal of the Fire Emblem franchise while setting a strong precedent for live content support in the mobile RPG market.
