"While there's no official mention of Three Houses in today's Nintendo Direct announcement, house crest stones from the 2019 tactics game for the original Switch are clearly visible on some of the weapons in the reveal, suggesting Fortune's Weave will be another game set in that world. Otherwise we don't get a whole lot of detail about the upcoming game beyond the idea that teams will be competing in Colosseum-style games while also battling other threats outside the city walls."
"Yes, Fire Emblem is back, with characters as cool and grid-based combat UI as ugly as ever. The trailer also ends with a surprise: Sothis sitting on a throne. The mysterious green-haired girl from Three Houses had the ability to manipulate time, and appeared in both younger and older forms. That leaves it to fans to speculate as to whether Fortunte's Weave will act as a sequel or prequel to the original."
Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave arrives on Switch 2 in 2026 and appears to return to the Fire Emblem: Three Houses world. The reveal trailer shows students entering a Roman Empire-style Colosseum where teams compete in arena-style matches while also facing threats outside the city walls. House crest stones from the 2019 tactics game are visible on weapons, and a ruler called the "Divine Sovereign" promises to grant the wish of the tournament winner. The trailer ends with Sothis on a throne; Sothis previously displayed time-manipulation abilities and appeared in younger and older forms, creating ambiguity about timeline placement. Cinematic animations and character art look strong for the Switch 2 debut, while isometric battle views and grid-based combat UI show limited graphical overhaul.
