Brand New Fire Emblem Announced for 2026 at Nintendo Direct

Nintendo announced Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave during the September 12, 2025 Nintendo Direct, revealing a new strategy RPG for Switch 2 in 2026.
The announcement followed the 2019 release of Fire Emblem: Three Houses and 2023's Fire Emblem Engage, continuing the series' tradition of tactical RPGs with factional rivalries.
Fortune's Weave centers on the Heroic Games, a gladiator-style tournament set in a Roman Colosseum, with combatants competing amid threats beyond the arena and a Divine Sovereign promising a wish to the winner.
The reveal trailer showcased Sothis, the important character from Three Houses, who intriguingly questions whether she has been overlooked so quickly, while the game’s visuals and cinematic sequences demonstrated impressive advancements suited for the new hardware.
Fortune's Weave implies a return to the same universe with new characters and setting, suggesting ongoing story and gameplay evolution, while Intelligent Systems holds back further details ahead of the 2026 launch.
