Every year, Fire Emblem Heroes – the mobile horny casino version of the Nintendo Tactics franchise – holds a contest where fans vote on their favorite characters. The winners are then added to the game as special versions with better abilities.
Usually, the victors that emerge from these democratic proceedings are familiar faces that you would expect. Last year, Dimitri and Edelgard, two of the most important stars of winners, included Fire emblem: Three houses. But in February, the Heroes community voted for sweet, sweet chaos.
Currently, the game is celebrating its 4th year of existence, bringing with it a new opportunity and subpoena. The news explosion announcing it all also contains the results of the above match, which included main characters such as Marth, a protagonist in previous matches. You would think he would be a shoo-in, especially since he’s also part of franchises like Super Smash Bros., but no. Marth loses, handy – and to a character who does not even have a name or a face!
The Gatekeeper, for those who have not yet played Fire emblem: Three houses, became a meme within the fandom shortly after release.
Although the character can not be recruited Three houses and does not play a big role, he is always happy to see you. Every time you talk to the Gatekeeper, he gives you updates and he expresses courage. Fans were so taken aback that they pulled him into fan art and begged Nintendo to make him recruitable.
And now, years later, love has succumbed to the power of a main character. The Gatekeeper will become a playable character in Fire Emblem Heroes somewhere in the summer, though it is unclear what powers he will have and how strong he will be. The gatekeeper will be accompanied by the fair Marianne, who was chosen as the most popular female character this year. The male and female runners-up will also get new playable versions, so poor Marth will still be performing, along with Eirika van Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.
If you have not played yet Fire Emblem Heroes in a while it might be a good time – there’s a sign up bonus for the game’s anniversary, along with a number of other new features, such as the ability to customize the main character’s appearance.
