"Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is a big new strategy game on the way for Nintendo Switch 2, and it might be set in the same universe as Fire Emblem: Three Houses - seeing as the trailer ends with a shot of an adult Sothis. That's tantalizing on its own, but actually not the biggest secret the trailer might hold. Three Houses, of course, was well known for its branching story that has you aligning with one class of students,"
"If you look at even the thumbnail for the video, we see four different characters equally framed. And interestingly, there's not a single shot where two of these characters are on-screen at the same time. We never see them together. Each one also pretty neatly embraces an archetype of some of the series' biggest characters. Cai is the upstart hero who comes from nothing, seemingly fighting through the colosseum to save his father."
Fortune's Weave is a strategy game coming to Nintendo Switch 2 that may share a universe with Fire Emblem: Three Houses, signaled by a shot of an adult Sothis. Sothis's aged appearance suggests either a far-future Fodlan setting or Sothis acting as an interdimensional deity. The trailer frames four distinct protagonists individually, with no shot showing any pair together. The four characters align with series archetypes: Cai as a zero-to-hero colosseum fighter, Theodora as a commanding queen akin to Edelgard, Dietrich as a dark-prince figure on a defining mission, and Leda as a revenge-driven transforming protagonist. The trailer implies multiple branching story paths likely filled with grief and trauma.
