In case you were wondering, the angle for the Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes story will be new: an extra path, if you will.
Fresh off of a reveal during the recent Nintendo Direct, three hopes once again unites Nintendo and Koei Tecmo, as they seek to print money once again. This isn’t a complete out of left field marriage, as Fire Emblem Warriors is four years old now, and has had plenty of time to simmer. But this time around, Three Hopes will hopefully have a more pointed narrative.
As confirmed directly on the game’s official site, Three Hopes will feature a new storyline original to the game. As the site notes: “In this work, which inherits the world and characters, [is] a new story that could have been…” It also confirms Japanese and English voicework, among text for Japanese, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Korean, Chinese (simplified), and Chinese (traditional).
It’s a smart move. If it succeeds, Koei Tecmo and Nintendo can build on it in a second “Three Hopes” game, which could serve as a sequel to this alternate universe. If it fails, they can leave it as-is and not have to worry about the implications of the Switch game, and any potential DLC or future follow-ups. It’s a win win! And much less of a gambit compared to how they worked in the canon of Zelda: Breath of the Wild with Age of Calamity.
