Only a few days left until the release of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore!
Nintendo from Japan has shared a new trailer highlighting the new features exclusive to the Nintendo Switch version of the game, including new costumes from the worlds of Atlus like Joker from Persona 5. Take a look at the video, and continue reading as we look over Nintendo’s new Topics article covering more updates in further detail.
The New Tokyo Mirage Sessions
New collab outfits!
The wardrobe in Tokyo Mirage Sessions is already packed with crazy outfits that’ll keep battles fresh 24/7, and it’s about to get even wackier with these four coming from whole other worlds. You can’t miss this one, it’s a costume of Joker from Persona 5! Outfits inspired by Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Etrian Odyssey Nexus, and Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux are also invited to the party.

By the way, the female lead of our story, Tsubasa Oribe, can now wear a pair of glasses. Have them on or off to your liking at any time from the Settings screen.
A new song, and new covers!
It’s not Tokyo Mirage Sessions without stories personified by song. You can catch a sneak peek of the all-new song “She Is…” on the official site of the Fortuna Entertainment talent agency (we’ve translated the site’s contents here). And not only that, you’ll be able to hear Tsubasa sing “Reincarnation” (as a cover of Kiria’s song), and Kiria sing “Maybe Friends, Maybe Lovers” (as a cover of Tsubasa’s song). You’ll have to play all-new storylines to uncover how they’re involved in Encore.
New tweaks to make life sweet
Tokyo Mirage Sessions has been retuned on Nintendo Switch to deliver a snappier, more flexible experience than what was possible before. You can amp up the tempo by toggling the new Quick Session feature to zip through battles. And if that’s not enough, loading transitions are much faster now, and you’ve got a Mini-Map always at the ready to help you on your way. Players who continue on to New Game+ can even decide to mix things up with their party, as they can now leave Itsuki in the subcast.

This news isn’t an illusion, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore is coming to Fire Emblem Heroes! Summoners, say hello to Itsuki Aoi, Tsubasa Oribe, Kiria Kurono, Eleonora Yumizuru, and Mamori Minamoto—all joined by their respective ally Mirages!
