September 24, 2025

Nintendo, Intelligent Systems, and DeNA have announced and released Fire Emblem Shadows, a new free-to-play real-time strategy and social deduction game for Android and iOS.

Here’s an overview of Fire Emblem Shadows, via Nintendo and the game’s respective store pages (Google Play, App Store):

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.

Consider the ally to your left and the one to your right. One of the three of you will betray the others. Can you manage real-time strategy and social deduction at the same time?

- - Listen—There’s Not Much Time – Someone in your party is a traitor. You only
    have a few minutes per battle to figure out who.
  - Prepare for Battle – Choose your weapons and magic skills for maximum impact.
    Will you remain loyal or betray all you knew? Expect the unexpected.
  - Hunt for Bargains – Buy and sell the treasure from battle with other players using in-game Gold! You’ll need a sharp eye to find the sharpest sword.
  - Two Tales – Enter the war between the goddesses of light and shadow. Discover the truth in the story by playing through both perspectives.

Marvel's Wolverine Releases in Fall 2026, New Trailer Released

Insomniac Games has released a new trailer for Marvel’s Wolverine, confirming that the game will finally release in Fall 2026. Additionally, it has also released a new behind-the-scenes trailer called “Behind the Claws.”

A PlayStation Blog post confirms some more details about Marvel’s Wolverine. It confirms that Liam McIntyre will play the role of Wolverine. Additionally, it reveals that the game will feature classic characters like Mystique and Omega Red, as well as locations important to Wolverine like Madripoor, the Canadian wilderness, and Tokyo. The end of the trailer further teases that a Sentinel, the mutant-hunting robots created by Bolivar Trask, will also play a role.

The blog post confirms more information about combat, stating the following:

“We aim to deliver the ultimate Wolverine fantasy built on Insomniac staples like fast, fluid, and ferocious combat; exhilarating, action-packed set pieces; robust accessibility features; and a gripping story that taps into the core tenets of one of the most compelling comic book characters of all-time. We’re breaking new ground with Wolverine, yes, but our penchant for telling stories about heroes overcoming colossal odds is as strong as ever. We’re eager to explore Logan’s story with you and tap into his signature spin on heroism, which is much darker and more brutal than you might expect from Insomniac.”
