Nintendo surprised fans today with a new trailer for upcoming musou-style Fire Emblem spinoff Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. After several weeks of consistently releasing trailers on Fridays, this extended two-minute Wednesday trailer for Fire Emblem: Three Hopes was quite unexpected — and also revealed the return of some quite unexpected characters as well as a demo that is free to download and play.

In the original game, the Ashen Wolves reside underneath Garreg Mach Monastery and possess powerful Crests formerly thought to be lost to history.
