Nintendo has released the latest major update for Fire Emblem Heroes, introducing Book X and setting the stage for a new storyline centered on the beginning of Ragnarök. The mobile strategy title continues its long-running narrative with fresh missions, added Heroes, and time-limited events designed to give both returning and new players a straightforward entry point into the unfolding conflict.
A New Threat Descends on Nifl
Book X opens with the onset of Ragnarök, framed as the twilight of the gods under the guidance of Alfaðör. The destructive winter known as Fimbulvetr is the first sign of what is coming, landing on the icy kingdom of Nifl. Players step into the role of the summoner alongside Alfonse - now carrying the power of Askr - and Princess Fjorm as they confront the advancing crisis. The game allows anyone to start Book X immediately, even without completing earlier books, making the update accessible to players who may be returning after a break or trying the story for the first time.
Clearing the first chapter on Normal difficulty grants access to Chosen Hero Alfonse, giving players a new unit tied directly to the narrative launch.
New Heroes Join the Roster
As part of the update, Fire Emblem Heroes is running a New Heroes summoning event that highlights characters from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Lorenz, Ignatz, and Rearmed Hero Lysithea join the summoning pool with Chosen Hero Alfonse included as well. All four appear in a 5★ focus during the event’s duration. The summoning window runs from December 4 at 11:00 p.m. PT through December 24 at 10:59 p.m. PT, offering players several weeks to expand their roster.
Feh Channel Offers a Full Overview
The latest Feh Channel broadcast provides an overview of Book X and additional updates included in this patch. The video summary from Feh, the in-game messenger owl, continues the tradition of presenting new seasonal features, gameplay changes, and character additions in an easy-to-follow format.

Continuing Support for Mobile Strategy Fans
Fire Emblem Heroes remains one of Nintendo’s most active mobile titles, offering quick but tactical turn-based battles designed for short sessions. The update continues to support the game’s long-term structure while giving users another chapter in its expanding storyline. With new Heroes, fresh content, and an accessible point of entry for newcomers, Book X extends the ongoing development of the game without altering its established gameplay approach.
