Weapon triangle? Check. Character count? High. Sword excess? Not so much.
This week's edition of Famitsu has confirmed new details on the upcoming Switch/New 3DS crossover Fire Emblem Warriors.
Among the announcements are four playable characters: Marth (Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon), Chrom (Awakening), and two original characters named Shion and Lian. The game will feature at least 14 playable characters as it promises the "largest selection of playable characters in a debut musou game". A "vast majority" of the playable cast will be from Shadow Dragon, Awakening or Fates, in order to prevent the main roster from being overloaded with sword users. The intention will be to have all types of weapons, including magic and archery, available as well as the traditional Fire Emblem weapon triangle.
According to the article, the game is about 70% complete. It is currently slated for a fall release worldwide on Switch and New 3DS.
