Fire Emblem Fates: Corrin Nohr Noble 1/7 Scale Figure Announced!

At WonHobby Gallery 2023 Spring, a new scale figure for Corrin in her Nohr Noble attire was revealed.

The figure is expected to release on June 2024, so just over a year away.

Intelligent Systems has added a product page on their website, featuring a 360 degree showcase, plus artwork and a comment from Yusuke Kozaki, who designed the characters.

Here’s our translation of his comment:

No way, Corrin is getting a scale figure and it’s the popular Nohr Noble outfit too!

It has a really cool finish and looks great from every angle. It seems CG is used for prototyping these days–the realistic shape of the cape and the silhouette of the flowing hair is a clear sign–and the quality has improved a lot in recent years.

It’s already been 8 years since the release of Fire Emblem Fates, but I’m delighted that we still have the chance to sculpt it with the latest technology!

Good Smile Company (the distributor) also has their own product page. Below are photos from the page.

Fates: Additional Information Regarding 3DS eShop Closure (Europe)

Back in Feburary, it was announced that the 3DS and Wii U eShop would be closing during late March 2023, with various services terminating earlier.

Due to the way it was released, Fire Emblem Fates is one of the games affected the most–and will be receiving slightly different treatment as a result.

While all other games will stop being sold from 27th March 2023, the European version of FE Fates will stop being sold one month earlier, on 28th February 2023 (source 1, source 2).

When you purchase Europe’s digital version of Fates, you only download data for up to Chapter 6 to begin with. At the end of Chapter 6, depending on your choice, you’ll then download data for your chosen story campaign (Birthright or Conquest), locking out the other campaigns (unless you buy them separately as DLC).

Presumably Fates is being removed early so people don’t download the game right before the eShop fully closes and don’t have time to reach the end of Chapter 6 to download the rest of the game. Please don’t buy the game right before 28th February, then wait a whole month…

While the game itself will be removed on 28th February, DLC (including the story campaigns) is still available until 27th March like normal. If you’re on the fence about the other campaigns, especially Revelation, which is digital/special-edition exclusive, don’t dilly-dally!

Heroes: “Dawning Reality & Nifl” Feature More Fates Plus Nifl: God of Ice!

Lo and behold, the next batch of Heroes coming to Fire Emblem Heroes will be from FE Fates. However, there’s also a surprise–just in time for the end of the current Tempest Trials, Nifl: God of Ice, can also be summoned!

Note: You can check out the Japanese version of this trailer here.

“Dawning Reality & Nifl”, which runs from 19th July 2021 (UTC), will add Charlotte (base version), Nyx, Orochi (also available via 4-star Focus), Benny (3 and 4-star) and Nifl.

Curiously, Nifl is a regular Hero and not a Mythic. Despite being a bona fide deity in the game’s story, which should qualify them to be a Mythic.

Additionally, Arete: Requiem’s Beauty will be available from the upcoming Grand Hero Battle.

Please continue for a breakdown of the new Heroes from the trailer!
