Fire Emblem Engage Release Date Revealed: More Info

At the September Nintendo Direct, in addition to many other news and announcements, a completely new mainline sequel to the legendary JRPG series was revealed for the first time. Fire Emblem Engage is a game we’ve only heard about through leaks and rumors, but after the latest Nintendo Direct presentation, we know it’s real! The announcement trailer gave us a first look at the kingdom of Elyos, and the lore of the new Fire Emblem story chapter.
