Towards the end of today's Nintendo Direct, a few heavy-hitters were served up. One such example was a brand-new instalment into the Fire Emblem series, as another chapter built solely for Nintendo Switch 2 was confirmed.

Known as Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, this will bring back the series famed tactical RPG gameplay, and will offer what is being described as an "intertwining story" with some fan-favourite characters also making a comeback.

Beyond what has been shown in the announcement trailer for the game, all that we know is that Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave will be launching sometime in 2026.
