Nintendo has officially announced a new Nintendo Direct showcase for August 2026. This Nintendo Direct is scheduled to air on August 4 at 7am PT, and will focus on the upcoming Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave game for Nintendo Switch 2. It’s unconfirmed if any other games will appear at this Direct, but it seems unlikely given its Fire Emblem focus.
Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave Nintendo Direct Announced for August 4
Announced via the Nintendo Today app and shared by the official Nintendo of America Twitter account, fans can tune into the Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave Direct on August 4 at 7am PT. The stream will be available to view on Nintendo’s official YouTube channel and the Nintendo Today app. Nintendo has a history of airing these game-specific Directs in the lead-up to release, most recently airing a Splatoon Raiders Direct back in June ahead of the game’s July 23 release date. With Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave planned for release on September 17, this Direct comes at the perfect time.
