Background
Fire Emblem is known for its deep tactical combat, character-driven stories, and faction rivalries. Three Houses (Switch) remains the franchise’s most successful entry to date — a likely reason Nintendo is weaving connections between the two titles.
Availability
No retailer or pre-order listings are available yet. Expect more details, release date specifics, and pre-orders as Nintendo releases further updates in the lead-up to 2026.
