Nintendo’s Fire Emblem Invites You to Betray Your Friends for Fun
Nintendo, the venerable overlord of joy, announced on September 25, 2025, 'Fire Emblem Shadows,' a mobile game crashing into iOS and Android stores with a spicy social deduction twist. Imagine Among Us met a Medieval power fantasy; you play as either a disciple of light or a treacherous shadow in battles where voting literally decides if you're toast or triumphant. Released as a 'free-to-play' gem arsenaled with optional in-app purchases to lovingly drain your wallet, Shadows follows the lucrative footsteps of 2017's 'Fire Emblem Heroes' — Nintendo's gacha baby still milking heroes and gamblers alike. And just in case you’re bored, get hyped for 'Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave' on Switch 2, Nintendo’s way of saying, 'More strategy, less trust!'
