A New ‘Fire Emblem’ Game Is Switch Bound!

To the surprise of many, Nintendo is all in on Fire Emblem, with four games releasing within about a year’s time! Rounding out the release schedule is Fire Emblem for the Switch, which will mark the franchise’s first home console appearance since 2011’s Radiant Dawn on the Wii.

All that we know is that the game is scheduled for a 2018 release and will be exclusive to Nintendo’s upcoming console / handheld hybrid, which sounds perfect for the type of game play we associate with the series. That leaves plenty of room to speculate, such as whether or not it will continue the story of Ike or Micaiah like the previous console games, or if it will be its own story. We won’t be disappointed to see either return, but recent trends make me think it will be a standalone story.

Could their return be around the corner?

But what say you? What do you hope to see in what will be the first non-handheld release in seven years? Comment below with your ideas, and check out the rest of our coverage on Fire Emblem Heroes, Fire Emblem Echoes, the new amiibo and Fire Emblem Warriors!
