Fire Emblem Engage will be the seventeenth entry in the namesake franchise. An outing that will take us in a few days on an epic and unprecedented adventure.
[Mis à jour le 16 janvier 2023 à 15h37] The turn-based tactical RPG genre probably wouldn’t be what it is today without the existence of Fire Emblem. Nintendo’s legendary franchise has marked the minds of players for a good two decades with its perfect mastery of the genre, offering complete, complex and sometimes even avant-garde games. However, the good news of this beginning of the year 2023 is that we will have the opportunity to immerse ourselves in this universe straight out of the studios of Intelligent Systems and Nintendo in a few days. Release date, price, pre-orders… We give you all the details of the release of Fire Emblem Engage.
Let’s start with the most important, Fire Emblem Engage will be released on January 20, 2023 on Nintendo Switch. The game was developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo, and ranks as the seventeenth installment in a franchise that is more than thirty years old. Of course, the game retains all the mechanics that have made its identity and success over the past 30 years, and clings to the fantasy tactical-RPG genre. You will be immersed in the heart of the continent of Elyos, in the shoes of a hero or a heroine like no other. A new scenario and gameplay that will undoubtedly satisfy fans of the franchise.
If Fire Emblem is the seventeenth chapter in the history of its franchise, it still intends to shake up conventions by bringing new elements to its gameplay. Of course, the game retains its traditional turn-based formula with movement, with two visual layers during combat, the tactical map seen from above and combat animations more realistic than ever. Fire Emblem Engage also adds the principle of Emblem Rings allowing you to summon and bind some of the franchise’s most famous heroes to your characters. To do this, you will need to collect the twelve Rings during your journey. These rings give you more options in battle and especially allow you to find Marth, Ike, Celica, Roy and many other fan favorite characters.
Fire Emblem Engage will be available on January 20, and you can still pre-order the game to enjoy various benefits. Nintendo has already put this new release on sale by offering players who wish to pre-order to collect a poster or a pin in addition to their game. The A2 poster is available free of charge in addition to your pre-order on the Fnac website.
