Fire Emblem Engage: Manga Chapter 1 Out Now & Expansion Pass Wave 3 Coming 8th March

As previously reported, the Fire Emblem Engage manga adapation has now officially started. Chapter 1 can be read online (in Japanese) on Shōnen Jump+.

Earlier, a short Prologue debuted in Saikyō Jump. You can also find it here (and here, translated in English).

Additionally, Nintendo Japan revealed via a new Topics article that Wave 3 of the Fire Emblem Engage Expansion Pass will be arriving on 8th March 2023.

As a reminder, Wave 3 adds two new Emblems: Chrom/Robin from Awakening and Veronica from Heroes.

Fire Emblem Heroes: Legendary Male Robin Completes the Half

The next Legendary Hero to appear in Fire Emblem Heroes will be Robin: Exalt’s Other Half.

Female Robin got her Legendary version way back in 2018; male Robin/Grandmaster fans can now rest easy at long last.

Other featured Heroes include…

  • Red: Legendary Seliph, Shez (M) and Gregor
  • Blue: Seiros, Legendary Fae and Legendary Byleth (M)
  • Green: Thorr and Legendary Xander

Fire Emblem Engage: Merchandise from empty Releasing on April

During April 2023, empty will be releasing a bunch of Fire Emblem Engage merchandise, including acrylic stands, a tapestry, acrylic key holders and square can badges.

As usual, these products are Japan-only, but you can probably find them at good import stores like AmiAmi.

Acrylic Stands – 1,980 Yen each

These measure around 130 mm tall.

Three designs are available: male Alear, female Alear and Marth.

For reference, Nintendo of America is offering slightly different acrylic stands via their sweepstakes.

Acrylic Key Holders – 880 Yen each

These measure approx 30 mm x 60 mm x 8 mm.

A whopping 56 designs are available, covering all of the playable characters, Four Hounds, Lumera, Sombron, Sommie and non-DLC Emblems.

Oddly, Alear, Alcryst and Timerra have their Japanese names written in English, while everyone else uses their official English names. I believe this matches the game’s Japanese website. Well, consistency has never been their strong suit.
