Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light is the first Fire Emblem game in the beloved franchise, which celebrated its 30th anniversary through March 2021. We were excited to offer the game localized in English for the first time to commemorate the occasion.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light was made available to purchase through March 31, 2021. Download codes for the game can still be redeemed after March 31, 2021 and those who purchased the game are still able to play or redownload it if it was deleted from their device.
