Not going to say we called it…but we totally called it! We noted a while back when we listed the characters that Fire Emblem Heroes needed that Alm and Celica should arrive to help promote Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. And now, Alm is arriving in Heroes, but he’s not alone, he’s bringing other Echoes characters with him.
As you’ll see in the trailer below, Alm, Lukas, Faye, and Clair are making their way into the game via the Focus Group that will come on the 14th. Their style seems to be pulled right out of Echoes (something we noted in our list) and it’s also clear that like all new major additions, you’ll get to fight them in Paralogues as well as try to summon them.
Now obviously, the big question is: “Where’s Celica?” Well, it’s very likely that she’ll be either in the next Focus Group with other Echoes heroes (possible ones that she’ll interact with in the game), or, she may come out closer to the games release. It’s hard to say at present. But given how Nintendo likes to space out the Fire Emblem Heroes Focus Groups, it’s likely they have a plan for her, and we’ll just have to wait and see what it is.
Fire Emblem Echoes will come out though on May 19th for 3DS. So it’s very likely that we’ll get Celica between now and then.
