Fire Emblem Heroes turned five years old in 2022, and Nintendo celebrated by announcing the creation of a box of limited-edition goods: the Fire Emblem Heroes 5th Anniversary Memorial Box. Pre-orders for the box opened back in February. In a new blog post, the company dropped additional details about the box’s contents.
The official Fire Emblem Heroes Japanese Twitter account also teased the Memorial Box in a new video.

As previously announced, the box contains a four-disc collection of music from across the franchise. The first three discs contain 78 tracks of original FEH music. Another 230-track collection is titled Melody of Summoned Heroes, and includes tracks from games like Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, Genealogy of the Holy War, Thracia 776, Awakening, Fates, and even spinoffs like Fire Emblem Warriors. The whole soundtrack set comes to a total of 308 tracks, with a 15-hour runtime, making it the largest soundtrack in the franchise’s history. Previews of the tracks can be streamed at the Intelligent Systems page.
The Fire Emblem Heroes Memorial Box also includes a “Main Visual Set”, a series of art prints featuring key art from six of the game’s story arcs. The illustrations were created by Yusuke Kozaki, Character Designer and Illustrator for Fire Emblem Awakening, Fates, and Heroes.
The blog post previewed the special, entirely new seventh illustration, gathering 19 key figures from across the franchise. Like the other prints, it’s sized to fit in the included frame.
The Fire Emblem Heroes Memorial Box poster shows off characters like Alfonse, Sharena, and Anna. Some characters, like Marth, Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude, appear as they do in their respective games. Others show off their FEH-original variant outfits, like Brave Lucina and Ike: Vanguard Legend.
Fans of the game’s 2D sprites are also covered, as the Fire Emblem Heroes Memorial Box also has a “Mini-Hero Sticker Encyclopedia,” a booklet containing 19 sticker sheets with over 900 characters. The post confirmed that every existing sprite and variation as of March 2022 is included, which means newly added characters like Bunny Sonya are part of the lineup.
Lastly, players can rest their phones by nestling it on a plush smartphone stand that looks like Feh, the game’s owl mascot.
The Fire Emblem Heroes Memorial Box is open for pre-orders in Japan until March 31, 2022, with shipping scheduled for August 31, 2022. It will cost 16,500 Yen (about $136 USD). The game is available on iOS and Android.
