Heroes: Choose Your Legends, Shadows Cup & Round 10

January 19, 2026 FE Heroes, News No comments

It’s that time of the year again!

…Whoa, is this really the 10th time?

This year, there’s a change. Between 18th January and 22nd January (PST), you can vote in the new Choose Your Legends: Shadows Cup.

The 1st ranked Hero of each 4 movement types will have their Shadows version added to Heroes.

For most Heroes, their movement type is pretty self-explanatory. But there are a few deviations, like Sakura from Fates being a Flier, Samson from New Mystery being an Armour and Julia from Genealogy being a Flier. Presumably to increase the variety.

In addition, Lyn is ineligible for voting, since her Shadows version is already in the game. Characters from Shadows also can’t be voted for.

Last but not least, the regular Choose Your Legends: Round 10 will be available between 22nd January and 29th January (PST).

Characters from Shadows (total 17) will be eligible for voting.

“Fire Emblem Shadows” Announced and Available for Smart Devices

September 24, 2025 Fire Emblem Shadows, Headliners, News No comments

Ah yes, Nintendo, why not just drop a new mobile Fire Emblem game out of nowhere?

Fire Emblem Shadows introduces “a new style of battles featuring role-playing and social deduction”.

The game is available to download now for Android and iOS, in over 70 countries.

Press release can be found here.

Update: Now that I’ve played the game and had some sleep. Here’s a bit more info.

Official Twitter account is here.

The story begins with Prince Kurt from the Kingdom of Ast fleeing from his homeland after an invasion from the empire. It’s very similar to the beginning of Shadow Dragon, which is definitely on purpose.

Kurt himself has design elements inspired by Marth, there’s a Jagen character and even an Abel and Cain who are literally a panther and bull.

Oh, that’s interesting… Every character seems to have animal-like features, akin to the Laguz. Although they don’t transform…normally. Another example, the Navarre who joins later is a raven. Even guest characters from other games have animal traits (more on that later).
