Fire Emblem Heroes' latest update is here, taking the game to Version 6.0.0 and adding plenty of new content to get stuck into.
The update introduces Book VI, the next chapter for the game. Promising a "rich new story" that'll let you discover why Veronica has returned, Book VI will be going live later today, 6th December, at 11pm PT. You can get a taste of what's to come in the new cinematic trailer up above.
On top of that, a range of new competitive modes have been announced for the game that allow players to take on friends or other players globally. Check them out:
Summoner Duels, the new player-vs.-player mode, can be accessed in the Coliseum. There are a few different fun ways to battle. This mode lets you add five Heroes to your team with battles lasting five turns. If you defeat all of your opponent’s Heroes, or if your score is higher than your opponent’s at the end of the fifth turn, you win!
In Favor Battles, your captain’s Favor Level increases based on the score you earned, granting you rewards as their level increases. Even if you lose, you’ll always have something to work toward. Fortune favors the bold, so give it your best shot!
Beyond Favor Battles, you can also take part in Free Duels and Practice Duels. Practice Duels allow you to check your team’s synergy and familiarize yourself with maps while playing against an AI opponent. In Free Duels, you can battle with other summoners you know by sharing a password. Use this mode to battle with your friends online!
Further details on the changes contained within Version 6.0.0 can be found on the game's official website and in the latest Feh Channel video below:

Hell yeah, definitely had an itch to play this game again after stopping for a while, glad I picked a great time to want to get back into it
Help, I'm addicted to this game already. This probably won't help.
didnt know it was still alive, lol
I only played the original story in version 1.0, and quit shortly thereafter. The hard limit of 4 units per map was such a heavy restriction to the main games that I quickly lost interest.
Kept up with the game somewhat through friends for a year or so after, and when it devolved into gacha madness for (at the time) costumed versions of characters, I knew I made the right choice.
@Browny - Thinking that's the point Nintendo wants.
These games are likely more for those that aren't into FE but want to, and this game serves as a dip into it. Willing to bet MK fans also feel the same way you do about World Tour.
We're already in Book VI? Awesomeness
Yes, it might be a gacha game. Yes, you can only choose 4 units per map. But to be fair, for someone like me who doesn't like mainline Fire Emblems but likes its characters, this game really does it for me.
Sadly the update doesn’t support my iPad so I have to get it on my phone.😔
I have drifted out of playing Fire Emblem Heroes to the point that I still have not finished Book IV. I only really play Dragon Ball Legends on my phone.
Maybe I will check out this update. PvP sounds like it will be fun! Although, many of my units are outdated by this point...
A fantastic way to kill 5 to 10 minutes a day.
I'll never understand the reputation for "accessibility" that these gacha games enjoy. I prefer games that don't have 8 different resource types and 10 different timed events being promoted at any given time. Every time I check out a FTP game I get a headache just looking at all the crap on the screen.
@Browny There are several modes that allow more than 4 units and 2 modes that allow 20. Just saying, if that was a determining factor, there's more to it now than there used to be. I have over 300 5-star characters and I've never spent even $1 on it. It's pretty generous with pulls and very easy to play continuously for a gacha game.
@everynowandben
Like I said, I played only the original 1.0 release, no more than a month following launch.
And in the years since, I've lost all interest in Fire Emblem following Nintendo and IS's handling of property.
@Browny That's a shame. Fire Emblem has evolved over time, but is still a great franchise.
