Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is a big new strategy game on the way for Nintendo Switch 2, and it might be set in the same universe as Fire Emblem: Three Houses — seeing as the trailer ends with a shot of an adult Sothis. That’s tantalizing on its own, but actually not the biggest secret the trailer might hold. Three Houses, of course, was well known for its branching story that has you aligning with one class of students, although there are technically four different story paths. And after rewatching the trailer for Fortune’s Weave a dozen times, I’m absolutely convinced it’s got another branching story that, like Three Houses, will undoubtedly be filled with grief and trauma. And I’m so here for it.
To be clear, we don’t exactly know anything about how this game is connected to Three Houses outside of Sothis. But considering how much she’s aged, it’s possible this game is set in the far future of Fodlan, or Sothis herself could end up being some interdimensional deity that hops between worlds. But past all that, the entire way this trailer is framed is extremely interesting.
