Many players have been diving into the demo for Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, a spin-off of arguably the most successful game in the series.
The title takes the same gameplay from Fire Emblem: Warriors and brings it to the land of Fodlan.
There are plenty of new characters in the game, some of which were mentioned in Three Houses and others that are completely original.
The format of Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is similar to Three Houses. Players get to choose three routes: Scarlet Blaze (Edelgard’s route), Azure Gleam (Dimitri’s route) and Golden Wildfire (Claude’s route).
In each route, players will encounter some new characters that were only mentioned by name in Three Houses.
