Book X kicks off in Fire Emblem Heroes – Ragnarök storyline lands

Table of Content

Nintendo and Intelligent Systems have launched Book X in Fire Emblem Heroes, pushing the saga into a Ragnarök chapter where Fimbulvetr – the winter of annihilation – reaches the icy realm of Nifl. The new story arc features the summoner alongside Alfonse, now bearing the power of Askr, the Divine Dragon, and Princess Fjorm. The update arrives with a New Heroes summoning event tied to Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Players can begin Book X directly, even if earlier books have not been completed.

Book X: Ragnarök reaches Nifl

The narrative frames Ragnarök under Alfaðör, the creator of all, with Fimbulvetr descending first upon Nifl. As the summoner, you’ll work with Alfonse and Fjorm to confront the oncoming cataclysm across the new chapters. The arc is positioned as a fresh entry point – prior completion of Books I-IX is not required – making it accessible for returning and new players alike.

“Thou shalt demonstrate thy strength…and save the realms!”

Immediate story reward

Progression is met with a concrete milestone: clear Book X, Chapter 1 on Normal difficulty to receive Chosen Hero Alfonse. This reward is tied directly to story completion and is available as soon as Book X unlocks.
