Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes New Characters — Shez and Arval Detailed for Nintendo Switch
Nintendo’s musou take on the Three Houses universe, Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, continues to roll out character details ahead of its console launch.
Developed by Omega Force in collaboration with Koei Tecmo and published for the Nintendo Switch, Three Hopes is a hack-and-slash spin-off that adapts the world of Fire Emblem: Three Houses into a Musou-style experience.
The game launched for Nintendo Switch on June 24, 2022.
On April 12, 2022, the official Fire Emblem Musou Twitter account published new profiles and artwork for two central figures: the player protagonist Shez and a mysterious companion identified as Arval.
Translations of the tweets were shared by community site SerenesForest; below is a concise, journalistic summary of the new character information.
Shez: a driven mercenary with a personal vendetta
The account confirmed that Shez is a lone mercenary driven to excel with the sword.
Shez’s Japanese voice cast is Tasuku Hatanaka and Miyu Tomita, reflecting the character’s selectable male or female presentation.
The profile explains that during a contract Shez encountered Jeralt’s mercenary group and was defeated by a figure known as the Ashen Demon.
While training to reclaim honor and pursue revenge, Shez met students from the Officer’s Academy in a forest—an encounter that sets the player on the game’s central path.
Arval: a dream-bound mystery
The second entry introduces Arval (English name to be confirmed), voiced in Japanese by Mutsumi Tamura.
According to the official post, Arval appears in the protagonist’s dream and rescues them from near-death at the hands of the Ashen Demon.
After the rescue, Arval begins speaking to the protagonist as though inhabiting their thoughts, and the character occasionally gives the impression that something essential is missing.
What this means for players
These profiles reinforce Three Hopes’ emphasis on narrative choices and character-driven paths while preserving the fast-paced combat Omega Force is known for.
The Twitter posts also included new artwork for both characters, providing visual context to the bios.
Fans and press have relied on the Fire Emblem Musou account and community translation outlets such as SerenesForest for early character information leading up to the game’s Switch release.
For readers tracking release and platform details: Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is available on Nintendo Switch as of June 24, 2022.
Official character notes and artwork were posted to the Fire Emblem Musou Twitter account on April 12, 2022, with translations circulated by SerenesForest.
