"This is the greatest announcement this decade," said my die-hard Fire Emblem fan friends when they heard the news of the Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave release date. It's safe to say that the hype is real and we're ready for combat.

With four fresh protagonists and a whole kingdom to explore, Fortune's Weave looks like it's taking things to a new level, which is great news for fans of tactical RPG gameplay. As ever, you'll be able to recruit new allies to your cause, and we're already looking forward to taking on some new units for hard-fought battles in the arena.

The latter part of the trailer also seems to feature Sothis, a returning character from Three Houses. We're already wondering what that might mean for the story and whether we'll reunite with any of the familiar faces from Garreg Mach Monastery. Whatever the case, this looks like another engaging entry for the classic Nintendo series.
