Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave Officially Announced for Nintendo Switch 2

Nintendo has officially revealed its next major entry in the iconic tactical role-playing franchise: Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave.

Announced during a recent Nintendo Direct, this highly anticipated title will be launching exclusively on the next-generation Nintendo Switch 2 console in 2026. Fire Emblem, developed in collaboration with Intelligent Systems, is a storied franchise that has continually pushed the boundaries of strategy RPGs since its debut in 1990.

The series earned renewed global attention with Fire Emblem: Three Houses, released for the Nintendo Switch in 2019, amassing critical acclaim and surpassing three million copies sold worldwide.

With a complex narrative, strategic battles, and memorable characters, Three Houses revitalized the franchise and set new standards for tactical gameplay. Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave promises to build on this legacy.

The initial announcement trailer, streamed during Nintendo’s showcase, hinted at a direct connection to Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

Eagle-eyed fans noted the reappearance of the enigmatic goddess seen at the conclusion of Three Houses, suggesting a narrative continuation or thematic tie-in.

While additional story details and gameplay features remain under wraps, Nintendo confirmed that more information will be announced in future presentations. In an official statement, a Nintendo spokesperson shared, 'We are excited to deliver another immersive Fire Emblem experience exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2.

Our team, alongside Intelligent Systems, is working to raise the bar for storytelling and tactical depth that fans around the world expect from the series.' The timing of this announcement aligns with the company’s focus on next-generation hardware innovation, with the Nintendo Switch 2 aiming to expand on the original console’s hybrid capabilities and robust digital storefront, the eShop.

By bringing flagship franchises like Fire Emblem to the platform, Nintendo underscores its commitment to delivering first-party experiences that define each hardware generation. As excitement mounts for the 2026 release of Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, both longtime fans and new players can look forward to a new chapter in one of Nintendo’s most celebrated series.

For ongoing updates, Nintendo encourages players to stay tuned to official channels and future Nintendo Direct presentations.
