New screenshots for Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes reveal that Mercedes will be in the game

gamepur.com:

Fire Emblem fans have discovered new screenshots for the upcoming Musou game Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. The Amazon Japan listing of the game shows off three new screen captures of the game. One of the screenshots shows a mysterious purple-haired character sitting down with the characters Dimitri and Mercedes.

This is the first look of Mercedes in the game. Beforehand, fans didn’t know if she would be in the game or not. However, this screenshot doesn’t confirm that Mercedes is fully playable in the game. The first Fire Emblem Warriors game featured characters that ended up not being playable, including some that became DLC.

The mysterious purple-haired character is most likely the same character that is shown fighting against Byleth on the cover art and trailer. The purple-haired character even shows up in the second screenshot, which appears to be a map for one of the stages.

You can see the purple-haired character’s icon at the bottom of the image, showing how good their odds are if they attack a nearby opponent. They are presented on the map as a dual-wielding pixel warrior. There are other pixelated fighter icons scattered throughout the map. Blue fighters are allies, whereas the red fighters on the map are the enemies.

The last screenshot shows the overworld of the game. There are multiple chess pieces on the overworld, possibly representing the different fractions of the game. The big red and gold piece may represent the Black Eagles, as red and gold is a common motif for Edelgard, the leader of the Black Eagles. The small blue and silver pieces may represent the Blue Lions, led by Dimitri. The screenshots were saved by Serenes Forest, a website dedicated to sharing every type of Fire Emblem news.
