'Fire Emblem: Three Houses' Release Date Revealed

Nintendo announced the release date of Fire Emblem: Three Houses during its Nintendo Direct with the new Fire Emblem game poised to release on July 26th.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses was marketed to be a big part of the Nintendo Direct that aired on Wednesday with Nintendo explicitly saying that new details on the game would be included in the presentation that was set to last around 35 minutes. Nintendo originally revealed the game during E3 2018 when it released a trailer during its packed presentation to say the game would be out in 2019. News on the Fire Emblem front has been scarce from that point up until the reveal from Wednesday's Direct.

Details have been scarce aside from the brief description of the game found below that was originally shared alongside the trailer, but even though new details are now known, it still serves as a sufficient summation of what the new Fire Emblem game entails.

"A brand-new Fire Emblem game with a new story and characters is coming to Nintendo Switch," Nintendo said about the new game when it was originally revealed. The game takes place on Fódlan, where the Church of Seiros exercises great power over the land and its people. This turn-based tactical RPG will put new strategic twists on battling, with formations of troops supporting individual units on the battlefield.
