Overview
Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is a tactical role-playing game developed by Intelligent Systems for the Nintendo Switch 2. It is part of the main Fire Emblem series and is scheduled for release in 2026. The game takes place in Almyra, a region previously mentioned in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. The central storyline focuses on a tournament called the Heroic Games, where participants compete for a wish granted by a divine figure. The game includes returning elements such as Crest Stones, Relics, and the character Sothis, suggesting a connection to earlier titles.
The playable cast includes new characters like Cai, Theodora, Dietrich, and Leda, each with distinct roles and motivations. The gameplay retains the series’ grid-based combat system and introduces new features such as Blaze Arts and a “curse” stat tied to weapons. The Gambit system from Three Houses returns, and the Heroic Games Arena provides structured battles with narrative impact.
Visual updates include improved character models and environments designed for the Switch 2. The game features a redesigned interface and a new soundtrack. While no specific release date has been confirmed, the title was announced during the September 2025 Nintendo Direct. It is exclusive to the Switch 2 and has not yet revealed details about route-splitting or recruitment systems.
Fortune’s Weave builds on familiar mechanics while adding new features and a different setting. It maintains the strategic gameplay the series is known for, with a focus on character development and story progression.
