Nintendo has reinforced its status as a leading force in the gaming industry with the latest updates to its 2026 release lineup, highlighting key titles and new age ratings that further excite fans and industry watchers.
As of this week, two of the company's highly anticipated games—Splatoon Raiders and Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave—have appeared with updated PEGI ratings on Nintendo's European webpages, signaling progress toward their long-awaited Nintendo Switch launches.
Splatoon Raiders, a spin-off of the popular Splatoon franchise developed exclusively for the Nintendo Switch platform, has been officially assigned a 'PEGI 7' rating.
Meanwhile, Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, the latest entry in the storied tactics-RPG series developed by Nintendo, has had its provisional rating upgraded to a 'PEGI 12'.
These ratings are a significant milestone in each game's path to release, assuring fans that both projects are advancing through Nintendo's highly structured quality and content standards before reaching the eShop and retail shelves.
Returning to Nintendo's official schedule, Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is currently slated for a 2026 release.
Splatoon Raiders does not yet have a confirmed launch date, remaining listed as 'TBD.' The updated PEGI information, however, indicates active progress in the approval and distribution pipelines for these titles, both eagerly awaited by fans of their respective franchises.
