"There was a lot in September's Nintendo Direct. We got a new trailer for the Super Mario Bros Movie sequel, a new Yoshi game, a new Mario Tennis game, this weird thing, a Hades II release date, a new Pokémon game, and Metroid Prime 4's release date. But if that weren't enough, and apparently it wasn't according to Nintendo, the company has also revealed a first look at the latest game titled Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave."
"The reveal trailer gave us a glimpse of the world of Fortune's Weave. The game features what looks to be the same kind of factional rivalries that made Fates, Awakening, and Three Houses so special. Fortune's Weave also features totally new characters in a brand new setting that, so far, looks much more interesting than what Fire Emblem Engage had to offer."
"At the heart of Fortune's Weave is the Heroic Games, a gladiator-like contest that will no doubt have massive implications on the wider story. Fortune's Weave looks to have the same tactical RPG rock-paper-scissors combat that I love about the series including new combat units that have some gladiatorial flair. We'll learn all Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave has to offer when it launches on the Switch 2 some time next year."
A reveal trailer gives a glimpse of Fortune's Weave, set around factional rivalries reminiscent of Fates, Awakening, and Three Houses. The game introduces wholly new characters and a fresh setting that appears more compelling than Fire Emblem Engage. Central to the plot are the Heroic Games, gladiator-like contests that promise to shape political and personal dynamics across factions. Combat retains the series' tactical rock-paper-scissors foundation while adding gladiatorial-flavored units and new class interactions. The game will launch on the Switch 2 sometime next year, bringing a mix of familiar Fire Emblem strategy and novel arena-style elements.
