Fire Emblem dev Intelligent Systems is getting in on the cross-promotion buzz early by adding major characters from the upcoming Three Houses to mobile game Fire Emblem heroes. Representatives of the three houses - Eldegard, Dimitri, and Claude - will be added to a new summoning banner. Alongside them will be the female version of Byleth, the player’s avatar character.
The new banner is coming on Tuesday the 22nd. Like most Tuesday updates, it will also bring a new story chapter and opportunities for orbs. Orbs that you can immediately blow in hopes of getting one of the new characters. A preview trailer shows off their abilities, as well as gives fans a chance to see the English dub voices and personalities in action.
The last addition is Byleth. She’s a bit of a mystery, as Intelligent Systems probably wants us to learn her secrets by playing Three Houses. One thing we can say is that there’s an odd dissonance between her calm speech and abilities called “Fury” and “Wrath.” It could be that some sinister force slumbers within her. If you’re wondering where the Male Byleth is, he’s actually a gift for people who buy Three Houses and sync both it and Heroes to a My Nintendo account.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses released on July 26th.
