Summary

  • Nintendo released an overview trailer for Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, detailing its story, four playable heroes, tactical combat, class system and Free Time activities.
  • Four protagonists — Cai, Dietrich, Theodora and Leda — compete in the Heroic Games before a previously revealed five-year time skip in which they vanish and Sothis summons the true protagonist.
  • Combat keeps Fire Emblem's turn-based weapons triangle staples while adding durability-draining Combat Arts, health-costing Blaze Arts and classes spanning Beginner, Specialty and Advanced tiers.
  • Dagsion serves as the hub for training, shopping, quests, recruitment and promotion exams, while players can switch among the four heroes for parallel story progress and enter skirmishes or dungeon battles from the world map.
  • Nintendo also announced a Dagdan Collection special edition with a steel case, art cards, a Dagda map and artbook; the previous mainline entry, Fire Emblem Engage, launched in January 2023.
