Nintendo's Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Direct revealed the game's story, four heroes, classes, Free Time activities, and dungeons. The game launches for Nintendo Switch 2 on September 17, with a special edition and a prologue manga starting September 4.
The Direct opened on the Heroic Games, a tournament that drives the story of four new heroes: Cai, a boy seeking to save his father, the swordsman Dietrich, Queen Theodora, and Leda, a musician out for revenge. Players explore the capital city of Dagsion between battles, training in the arena, shopping, taking certification exams, and recruiting warriors. A world map offers skirmishes and dungeons with turn-based combat closer to traditional RPGs.
The video also revealed a time skip set five years after the Heroic Games, with the four heroes vanished and Sothis from Fire Emblem: Three Houses summoning a soul as the true protagonist. Players can save the world alone or enlist the Goddess of Fate Fortuna to change the heroes' histories. The game launches for Nintendo Switch 2 on September 17, with a special edition and a prologue manga by Fire Emblem Engage creator Kazurō Kyō starting September 4.
