About

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is a turn-based strategy RPG centered around the Heroic Games, a tournament where warriors with different motivations compete for a chance to have their greatest wish granted by the Divine Sovereign. The game builds on the tactical foundation of previous Fire Emblem titles, featuring turn-based combat with combat arts, gambits, and crests. A new mechanic called Blaze Arts lets units spend health to perform powerful special abilities on the battlefield. The game appears to be set in the same world as Fire Emblem: Three Houses, though in a different era, and follows characters like Cai, who enters the tournament to save his father's life.
