Nintendo closed out Nintendo Direct September 2025 with the announcement of Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave.

Expect a release at some point in 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2.


Here's the official blurb from Nintendo:

The Heroic Games have begun. The newest entry in the Fire Emblem series is set to enter the arena. The debut trailer provided a glimpse of the intertwining story, characters and turn-based tactical RPG gameplay that awaits players when the game launches for Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026.
