Fire Emblem Shadows

Fire Emblem Shadows is a 2025 social deduction strategy video game developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo for Android and iOS. It is the second mobile spin-off of the Fire Emblem series following Fire Emblem Heroes (2017). Unlike Heroes, the game forgoes the series' traditional tactical role-playing gameplay in favor of multiplayer social deduction. Players engage in combat where one of their number is secretly a traitor who can sabotage others. After combat's completion, players vote on who they think is the traitor and subsequently must fight the traitor afterwards. The game features an in-game story split in two halves; the light half focuses on the journeys of heroes such as Kurt, a royal who is forced to flee her home country after it is attacked by the Goddess of Shadows, Fenris, while the dark half provides additional context to the actions of involved characters, including a focus on servants of both Fenris and the Light Goddess Naga as they engage in combat with each other. The game was announced and released on September 25, 2025. The game received negative reviews from critics, who felt the gameplay was simple and lacked depth in terms of its social deduction gameplay.
