During today’s Nintendo Direct, they showed a glimpse of the remaining Expansion Pass content for Fire Emblem Engage.
First up, here are the new DLC Emblems appearing in the next two packs.
Afterwards, they showed a teaser for the new story in Wave 4, told via the Fell Xenologues.
To finish off, Pack 2 will be available to play today.
Today, Fire Emblem Heroes celebrates its 6th anniversary. Like previous years, Nintendo shared an anniversary Feh Channel video.
Highlights include the winners of this year’s Choose Your Legends event.
Congratulations to male Robin, Gullveig, Soren and female Corrin for achieving the 1st and 2nd places in the male and female divisions!
(By the way, the top 4 were leaked by the website moments before the announcement, similar to previous years.)
Next, the upcoming Valentine’s banner will be centred on Fire Emblem Fates. The featured Heroes will be Takumi, Leo, Hana and Duo Elise with Sakura. Effie will be the Tempest Trials reward.
(Likewise, the banner line up was leaked in advance.)
Nintendo/Intelligent Systems and Being Inc. will be releasing a “Fire Emblem Engage Special Vocal Edition” single CD on 15th March 2023. It includes Fire Emblem Engage‘s opening theme “Emblem Engage!” (by Ryo) and its ending theme “Fiery Bonds” (by Rainy).
In addition to the CD itself, the set contains a Blu-Ray with a special version of the opening theme (full) and special version of the ending theme (1 chorus), plus 26 clear art sheets featuring the main characters and Emblems (which you can customise the CD jacket with), packaged together in a 3-sided case.
The RRP is 2,500 Yen plus tax.
Also, “Emblem Engage!” will be available on streaming services (such as iTunes) from 1st February, while “Fiery Bonds” will follow on 15th February.

Intelligent Systems was quite smart and didn’t include the actual content for Waves 2~4 of the Fire Emblem Engage Expansion Pass in the currently available data. However, they weren’t quite thorough enough, because various files in the base game and Version 1.1.0 reference unreleased DLC.
This has happened in the past on numerous occasions, such as for Three Houses. I don’t have any experience of the development process, but I imagine DLC is developed in tandem with the main game, so it’s probably incredibly hard to fully separate the base game and DLC.
Of course, there will probably be spoilers, so be mindful if you wish to continue! This includes story spoilers.
