Nintendo announces Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave for Switch 2. Set in the same universe as Three Houses, the tactical RPG will release in 2026 with brand-new features and storylines.





Nintendo has officially announced the next installment in its iconic tactical RPG franchise—Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave. Revealed during the latest Nintendo Direct, the game is being developed exclusively for the upcoming Switch 2 console and is expected to launch in 2026.


According to early reports, Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave will take fans back to a universe connected with the critically acclaimed Fire Emblem: Three Houses. While Nintendo has kept most story details under wraps, fans are already speculating about familiar characters, shared lore, and new kingdoms that may tie the games together.


One of the most exciting highlights is the introduction of the “Heroic Games”, a gladiator-style tournament where characters and factions compete for power and survival. This new mechanic promises to add depth and intensity to the series’ signature tactical battles, giving players fresh strategies and gameplay challenges.


The announcement has sparked a wave of excitement across social media, with keywords like Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, Switch 2, and Three Houses universe trending on platforms such as X (formerly Twitter). Fans are already discussing possible story arcs, favorite character returns, and how the next-gen console will enhance the franchise’s visuals and mechanics.


The previous entry, Fire Emblem Engage, launched in 2023 for Nintendo Switch, received praise for its combat but mixed reviews for its story. With Fortune’s Weave, Nintendo appears to be addressing fan expectations by delivering a larger narrative and expanded world-building.


As anticipation builds, all eyes are on Nintendo and Intelligent Systems to see how this beloved franchise evolves. With a confirmed release window in 2026, Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about tactical RPGs of the next generation.
