Fire Emblem Heroes Marks 8th Anniversary with Free Summons, QOL Upgrades

Nintendo continues to captivate its loyal fanbase with its flagship franchises, and Fire Emblem Heroes is a prime example. Now celebrating its impressive 8th year in the mobile gaming arena—a remarkable achievement considering the numerous unexpected shutdowns in this competitive market—the strategy RPG is rolling out special quests and a free summoning event to mark the occasion.

This is fantastic news for gacha enthusiasts, as the summoning pool will now feature 5-Star Special Heroes as part of the 8th Anniversary Celebration. The Binding Worlds events have been enhanced, allowing you to recruit two Heroes as allies, while the Hall of Forms now offers three skills of each type in its highest chamber.

Tactical gameplay gets a boost with the tactical retreat feature, which can now be used up to three times in the Arena and Arena Assault+. For those who missed out on certain heroes, the Legendary Revival 1 event brings back Past Legendary Heroes as 5-star Focus Heroes. If you're persistent and summon 40 times or more, you'll have the opportunity to choose one of the 5-star Focus Heroes for free.

The Ver. 9.2.0 update is packed with even more exciting additions, which you can explore in the official patch notes. For those looking to optimize their gameplay, we've also prepared a comprehensive tier list and a reroll guide.

If you're eager to dive into the festivities, you can download Fire Emblem Heroes for free on the App Store and Google Play, with optional in-app purchases available.
