Nintendo announced a new Fire Emblem mobile game on its corporate investor relations social media account. Fire Emblem Shadows is a real-time tactics and treachery game that is set to release on smart device platforms on September 25, 2025. The game is being published by Nintendo and developed by Intelligent Systems/DeNA Co., Ltd.
The gameplay of Fire Emblem Shadows combines real-time strategy and social deduction. One of the three allies participating in each battle is secretly a treacherous disciple of shadow. Players choose to take on the role of either a disciple of light, aiming to find their way through the labyrinth, or a disciple of shadow.
After the initial battle, players vote to determine who they believe is the treacherous disciple of shadow. The outcome of the vote affects whether the next battle is more favorable or more challenging. Whether the disciples of light can correctly discover the traitor—or the disciple of shadow can successfully deceive the others—holds the key to how the next battle unfolds.
The blogpost explains that Fire Emblem Shadows is “Free-to-start” and will be released in more than 70 countries and regions, including the United States and Japan. Fire Emblem fans will be able to download the game for free on iOS and Android smart device platforms when it launches this Friday.
Nintendo will continue its efforts to deliver entertainment unique to Nintendo and put smiles on the faces of everyone Nintendo touches.
Nintendo did see some previous success with Fire Emblem Heroes on mobile devices, and the company also recently announced Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave will be releasing on Nintendo Switch 2 next year.
