Nintendo streamed an overview trailer for Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, a new strategy RPG launching for Switch 2 on September 17. The trailer previews the Heroic Games story, four new heroes, combat with Combat Arts and Blaze Arts, class progression, and Free Time activities in the capital Dagsion. A special edition, the Dagdan Collection, includes a steel case, art cards, a map, and an artbook. Sothis from Three Houses appears.
The overview trailer walks through the Heroic Games, the tournament at the center of the story, and the four playable heroes: Cai, a boy trying to save his father; Dietrich the swordsman; Theodora the queen; and Leda, a revenge-seeking musician. Players switch between them at the Pale Raven's Perch, letting all four storylines progress in parallel.
Combat keeps swords, lances, axes, bows, gauntlets, and magic, and adds Combat Arts that cost weapon durability and Blaze Arts that cost health. Free Time between battles covers arena training, shopping, certification exams, quests, and recruiting in Dagsion.
The Direct stream previously revealed a time skip five years after the Heroic Games, with the four heroes vanished and a soul called down by Sothis acting as the true protagonist. A prologue manga by Fire Emblem Engage creator Kazurō Kyō launched September 4 in Saikyō Jump and on Shonen Jump+.
