Nintendo and developer Intelligent Systems have revealed Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave during the September Nintendo Direct. The new tactical RPG from the Fire Emblem series will launch for Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026.
According to Nintendo’s announcement, “The Heroic Games have begun. The newest entry in the Fire Emblem series is set to enter the arena.” The debut trailer showed off the game’s characters, and the series’ signature turn-based tactical RPG gameplay that fans expect.
Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave continues the long-running tactical RPG franchise known for its strategic combat and character-driven stories. The trailer gave players their first look at what to expect when the game arrives on Nintendo’s upcoming console.
Fire Emblem games typically feature grid-based tactical combat where players move units across battlefields, with each character having unique abilities and weapons. The series is also known for its permadeath system, where fallen characters are permanently lost unless playing on easier difficulty settings.

The game will be available both at retail stores and digitally through the Nintendo eShop when it releases worldwide in 2026. More details about the game will be shared in the future. This marks another major title confirmed for the Nintendo Switch 2, adding to the system’s growing lineup of announced games. Fire Emblem fans will have to wait until 2026 to experience the latest chapter in the tactical RPG series.
