Fire Emblem Fates is the collective name referring to the two games comprising the fourteenth game in the Fire Emblem series: Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright (ファイアーエムブレムｉｆ白夜王国 Faiā Emuburemu if Byakuya Ōkoku) and Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest (ファイアーエムブレムｉｆ暗夜王国 Faiā Emuburemu if An'ya Ōkoku), to be released for Nintendo 3DS in June 2015 in Japan and 2016 worldwide. For the first time in the series, two versions of the game will be released in which the player is given one of two connected stories, with the other available for purchase as downloadable content.

Story

The Hoshido and Nohr kingdoms are at war. The avatar character is the son of the Hoshido but was raised in the Nohr kingdom, and must choose which side they will align with.

Gameplay

The gameplay is similar to the previous game, Fire Emblem: Awakening. Fitting with the Japanese aesthetic of the game, the traditional weapon triangle has been replaced with Japanese equivalents (katana, naginata, and kanabō rather than sword, spear, and axe), in addition to the bow being added into it. The Pair Up mechanic also returns.

Similar to Fire Emblem Gaiden, the weapon durability mechanic has been removed for this installment. The Classic and Casual gameplay modes also return from Fire Emblem Awakening, though a new gameplay mode called "Phoenix Mode" is also confirmed for this game, in which units are revived one turn after they are defeated.
