Nintendo Announces Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave for Switch 2 in 2026

Nintendo announced Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, a new mainline entry in the tactical RPG series, set to launch exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026. The game features a new visual style and centers around a colosseum where the 'Heroic Games' take place, with a narrative focusing on a young protagonist named Cai competing to save his father’s life. Notably, the reveal trailer includes an adult version of Sothis from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, suggesting that Fortune’s Weave may be a direct sequel or connected to the previous game’s lore. The story appears to be set in Almyra, a region introduced in Three Houses, and introduces new characters such as Theodora, Dietrich, and Leda. While Nintendo has yet to confirm the development team, the visual style indicates possible involvement of Intelligent Systems and Koei Tecmo. The game is highly anticipated as it continues the franchise’s legacy of tactical depth and character-driven storytelling on new hardware.
