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

Nintendo has officially announced Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, the latest installment in the acclaimed tactical role-playing series, set to launch exclusively on the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2.

Developed by the veteran team at Intelligent Systems, Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave continues the franchise’s tradition of strategic turn-based combat and deep character-driven storytelling, bringing new depth and innovation to one of Nintendo’s most storied series. First introduced during the June 2024 Nintendo Direct presentation, Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave builds on the legacy of previous Fire Emblem titles, such as Three Houses and Engage, which have both seen substantial critical and commercial success on the Nintendo Switch.

The announcement marks another significant collaboration between Nintendo and Intelligent Systems, whose expertise has been instrumental in guiding the Fire Emblem series to international prominence since its debut in 1990. In a statement shared during Nintendo Direct, a spokesperson for Intelligent Systems expressed their enthusiasm: “With Fortune’s Weave, we’re excited to push the boundaries of tactical gameplay and narrative interactivity on the new Nintendo Switch 2 hardware, creating an experience both familiar to longtime fans and inviting for newcomers.” While specific details about the game mechanics are still forthcoming, Nintendo has confirmed that Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave will harness the enhanced processing power and graphical capabilities of the Nintendo Switch 2.

This promises not only improved visuals and performance but also potential gameplay innovations unique to the console’s next-generation features.

Fans can expect a robust single-player campaign, the signature permadeath mode for characters, and enhanced social and combat systems that have defined the Fire Emblem franchise. The Fire Emblem series has charted remarkable growth over the past decade, with Fire Emblem: Three Houses surpassing 3.8 million units in sales as of December 2022, making it one of the bestselling entries in series history.

The arrival of Fortune’s Weave on Nintendo Switch 2 is positioned to build on that momentum, reaching both longtime followers and new audiences through a combination of compelling storytelling and strategic gameplay. Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is scheduled for global release in late 2025, with additional information on gameplay, characters, and special editions expected in future Nintendo Direct broadcasts and via the Nintendo eShop.

Fans can stay tuned to official Nintendo channels for the latest updates as the launch of Nintendo Switch 2 draws nearer.
