Nintendo and Intelligent Systems showed more of Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave during the latest Nintendo Direct, ensuring turn-based-tactics fans will continue having an absolutely grand time when it launches as a Switch 2 exclusive on September 17.
Players will be able to choose between four different main characters, each with a unique storyline. Each hero will be seeking to win The Heroic Games for their own reasons, as whoever emerges victorious will be granted one wish.
The latest trailer highlighted each hero. Kai, a young boy, seeks to win the games in order to save his father. Meanwhile, Dietrich, a mysterious swordsman, joins the games in search of strong opponents. Theodora is a queen of an entire kingdom, and seeks to fulfill her homeland’s dream. Leda, a muscian, joins the games seeking revenge.
Each hero will have their own special techinques to deploy, and ones that are said to be capable of turning the tide of battle. Between official Heroic Games matches, players will have free time to spend. That time can be spent gearing up and improving their forces through training, recruiting new warriors, and venturing outside of the main city’s walls to battle monsters and gain XP.
Fortune’s Weave will cost $80 physically or $70 for the digital edition.
The Fire Emblem series has been extremely active on Nintendo Switch, including two mainline games and multiple spin-offs. The latest game, Fire Emblem Engage, offered a more streamlined story than its predecessor Three Houses, with a return to classic Fire Emblem combat and a simpler story. We will continue to wait for Nintendo to do the right thing and bring the Radiant games to Switch.
