Alear and Fire Emblem Engage Characters from Firene Join FE Heroes

The first Fire Emblem Engage characters are about to appear in FE Heroes, bringing Alear and three folks from Firene to the game. Of the four, Alfred will be a Rearmed unit. As such, he won't be added to the general pool of characters after the banner runs. However, the female version of Alear, Celine, and Chloe will. It will show up in-game on January 17, 2023. Etie will also be a login bonus, while Queen Lumera will appear as a Grand Hero Battle.

Alfred is a cavalry unit bearing the Rearmed weapon Arcane Qiang. As such, someone can have another ally inherit that weapon without losing Alfred. His sister Celine is an infantry unit with a green tome. Chloe, Celine's retainer, is a flying unit with a lance. Finally, Alear is an infantry unit with the sword Liberation. All four are only available as five-star units.

Here is the full Fire Emblem Heroes banner looking at the four Engage heroes. People can spark up to two times on this banner. So after 40 pulls, then after 80 pulls, people will be able to select one of the four focus heroes. (The second time, you will only be able to pick from among the three you didn't take.)

The official Twitter account also noted that Celine's Joyous Tome's ability isn't working completely as intended. It is supposed to heal the unit and allies for 7 HP if they are within three spaces of her.

Fire Emblem Heroes is available for Android and Apple iOS devices. The first Engage characters banner will appear January 17, 2023. Fire Emblem Engage will come to the Nintendo Switch on January 20, 2023.

Genshin Impact Alhaitham and Xiao Banner Include Xinyan, Yaoyao and Yunjin

We already know that both the Alhaitham banner and Xiao rerun banner in Genshin Impact would include the new four-star unit Yaoyao. However, HoYoVerse just confirmed the other two characters who will be focus units on it. When both appear on January 18, 2023, people will also have increased chances of getting Xinyan and Yunjin.

As usual, people will be able to pick from one of two character banners when Wednesday comes. Regardless of whether they choose the five-star Dendro swordsman Alhaitham or the five-star Anemo polearm-wielder Xiao, the banner will feature the four-stars Xinyan, Yaoyao, and Yunjin. Xinyan is a Pyro claymore-wielder. Yaoyao is a Dendro polearm-user. Yunjin is a Geo polearm-bearer. All three four-stars hail from Liyue, which is celebrating its annual Lantern Rite.

The Epitome Invocation weapons for the first half of the update also showed up in the announcement. The five-star sword meant for Alhaitham is the Light of Foliar Incision and available on the banner. So is the Primordial Jade Winged Spear, a five-star polearm with Xiao in mind. People will also have a higher chance of getting the four-star Flute sword, Lithic Spear, Rainslasher claymore, Sacrificial Bow, and Widsith catalyst weapons.

Genshin Impact is available for the PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and the Alhaitham and Xiao banners will appear on January 18, 2023. That is the day the 3.4 update will go live for the game.

Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link Character Customization

Square Enix provided a glimpse into what character customization will look like in Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link. While it was already confirmed that players will be able to create their own unique avatar, this is the first time the user interface and various costume options have been shown. During the closed beta test, those who were able to participate could see this system for themselves. However, the official Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link Twitter account shared a few images and brief description of how character customization works.

According to the tweet, players will be able to change the individual color of every piece of clothing. Several different types of hoods, top hats, and jackets are shown in the image. This also includes a red version of the default outfit shown in a previous trailer. Players will be able to obtain a variety of outfits from the in-game shop. The tweet does not specify if outfits will be available to purchase with in-game or premium currency.

You can take a look at the Tweet, and the accompanying images, below.

Further information about how detailed players can make their characters will appear in the future. As the Tweet mentions that players will be able to make their avatars with a greater attention to detail outside of the closed beta test.

Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link is in development for Android and iOS devices.
