The livestream starts today at 10AM ET/7AM PT on YouTube and will last about 20 minutes, revealing new details about Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. Alternatively, check the embedded stream here for a quick preview.

The new entry takes place in Dagsion, capital of the Dagdan Empire, and follows the events of Geneology of the Holy War. It centers on four main characters competing in the Heroic Games to earn a wish. Cai seeks freedom for his father, Dietrich aims to test his swordsmanship, Theodora wants to prove herself after her father's death, and Leda seeks revenge while chasing a mysterious figure.

The trailer also teased the appearance of an aged‑up Sothis and the Hero's Relics, echoing 2019's Fire Emblem: Three Houses and 2022's Three Hopes. Players will face a demon army summoned from the Underworld and the arrival of Eshmel, the Herald of the Pale Raven. Between matches of the Heroic Games, you can recruit additional party members and train them to unlock new skills and abilities. If you prefer exploration, you can leave Dagsion and roam surrounding regions for experience.

For more details, tune into Nintendo’s livestream before the game drops on September 17. Fans can also catch highlights and behind‑the‑scenes footage on Nintendo’s official channels after the stream. It’s a prime opportunity to catch clues about upcoming gameplay mechanics and story arcs.
