Today, they have treated us all with a fresh three minute trailer giving fans of the Fire Emblem franchise and the Warriors games plenty to get their head around with new eye candy and the prospect of Byleth being the new villain. The soundtrack sounds excellent too. Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes launches on 24th June.
“Players can uncover the fates of three great powers when Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes – an original story set in the familiar universe of Fire Emblem: Three Houses – releases for Nintendo Switch on 24th June 2022. The Intertwined fates – Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes (Nintendo Switch) trailer introduces the main protagonist Shez and their most formidable enemy, the Ashen Demon, together with returning main characters, as well as showcasing new gameplay elements.
In this new tale, the future rulers of the three nations that govern Fódlan cross paths with Shez – a mercenary on a mission. How will this chance encounter change the future of the continent? Players will guide Shez through this yet unseen story and its three diverging paths.
In Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, players can explore the encampment and interact with allies before heading into the fray. It’s possible to enjoy training, tasty meals and conversations together, strengthening bonds and unlocking new abilities that could turn the tide in battle.
Players can give orders to allies in real time, while hacking and slashing through hordes of enemies. Some strategical elements from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, such as Adjutants, are also making a comeback. These allies can protect the player and help them unleash powerful moves called Partner Specials.
Forces can be manoeuvred across the map while keeping an eye on objectives. Extra events, such as the appearance of Survey Spots, the merchant Anna who sells valuable items and more can be found on the map as well.
It’s possible to freely change character classes to be prepared for any enemy encounter. The unique traits of companions with different classes can be utilised for a variety of tactical combinations.”
