Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave Overview Trailer Released

Ahead of the game’s launch this week, Nintendo released a new overview trailer for Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave. The seven-minute video gives an introduction to the game’s story premise, main characters, combat, class system, gameplay flow, and more.

Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave will release for Nintendo Switch 2 on September 17, 2026. The game is set in the Dagdan Empire on the continent of Dagda, which is far to the southwest of Fire Emblem: Three Houses’s setting of Fódlan. It begins with the end of the empire at the hands of the revived demon god, Balor. However, the goddess Sothis sends a soul — the player — back in time five years prior, to the Heroic Games where four heroes competed, in order to save the world and change the fates of those heroes who had disappeared. Rather than needing to play through each hero’s route separately, the game allows players to play through all four heroes’ stories in parallel.
