Fire Emblem: Three Houses set to release on July 26
During today's Nintendo Direct we finally got more information about the next entry in the Fire Emblem series, Fire Emblem: Three Houses. News has been relatively quiet on the game since its original reveal last summer, so we've been champing at the bit for any new details on for a while now (it is our most anticipated game of 2019, after all).
Fire Emblem Three Houses is set to release on July 26, a first-time worldwide launch for the series. A new trailer goes over many of the game's systems and premise, putting players into the shoes of a military academy professor.
Find the clip from the Nintendo Direct below. We also learn that the game is being co-developed by Koei Tecmo.
The Black Eagles. The Blue Lions. The Golden Deer. Three noble houses that are part of the Officer’s Academy, an elite facility that trains students in the ways of weapons, magic and special skills. As a professor, the player must choose one of these houses to lead its students in grid-based battles with life-or-death stakes. Each house is comprised of many different students to meet and train, each with her or his own personality and skills. These students can interact with each other at the academy, strengthening their bonds and supporting each other on the battlefield.
