Fire Emblem Warriors is a crossover game in the Fire Emblem series using the gameplay of Koei Tecmo's Dynasty Warriors series. The game is being developed by Omega Force and Team Ninja, who had previously worked on Hyrule Warriors and Hyrule Warriors Legends. Announced during the Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017, the game was released for both the Nintendo Switch and New Nintendo 3DS systems in Japan in September 2017, and will be released worldwide in October.[3][4]

In Japan, both versions of the game were released with two special edition sets. The "Premium Box Edition" set includes a three-disc game soundtrack, a character card set, and a game art book. The "Treasure Box Edition" includes all of the contents of the Premium Box, plus an electronic dragonstone statue that includes voice clips.[7] In Europe, the Nintendo Switch version will launch with a limited edition that includes the soundtrack and character cards[4]; this bundle will also release in Australia as an EB Games exclusive.[5] The North American Special Edition includes the CD soundtrack and character art cards, as well as a dual-sided poster.[3]

Gameplay

Gameplay appears largely similar to other Dynasty Warriors titles, in which players chain together weak and heavy attacks to fight armies of soldiers.[8] The game's playable characters will mostly be drawn from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, Fire Emblem Awakening, and Fire Emblem Fates.[9] The game will incorporate series standard features such as the weapon triangle, unit classes, character supports (known as "Bond Conversations" in this game), and other strategic elements, as well as the ability to switch between characters mid-battle[9] and being able to direct them to other areas on the map.[10]

Development

Fire Emblem Warriors was originally unveiled during the Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017. During the Fire Emblem Direct on February 18, an extended trailer was showcased featuring a first look at gameplay.[2][8] Development on the game had already begun by late 2015.[11] The idea of a Fire Emblem-style Dynasty Warriors game originated at Koei Tecmo, and when the idea was proposed to Nintendo they began to discuss developing the game for their "new console", later revealed as the Nintendo Switch.[11] From the beginning the intention of the developers was "to make a Warriors game that can be enjoyed by Fire Emblem fans".[11]

Producer Yosuka Hayashi confirmed that the Japanese version of the game had "gone gold" during a livestream on September 1, stating that most of development had been completed.[12]
