Koei Tecmo Games began streaming a gameplay trailer for its Fire Emblem Warriors (Fire Emblem Musou) Nintendo 3DS and Switch game on Friday, revealing Elise from Fire Emblem Fates as a playable character.

Koei Tecmo also recently streamed a gameplay video for female Robin and two videos showing "dual secrets," special moves two characters can perform together. The first dual secrets video shows Lucina and Marth while the second shows Ryouma and Xander.

The game is slated for release for both consoles in Japan on September 28, and in North America and Europe on October 20. The North American Special Edition will include a three-CD soundtrack, 25 cards with character art and slip case container, and a dual-sided poster showing the game's characters.

The game's story begins when, the Kingdom of Aitriss is enveloped in darkness without warning, and an otherworldly gate appears within the castle. Powerful creatures overpower the castle guards. The castle soon falls, and the darkness slowly but surely encroaches upon the Kingdom. But there is hope in the form of Shion and Liane, the prince and princess who escaped even as the castle burned. They possess a thread that ties together the destiny of heroes. Bearing the Shield of Fire granted to them by their mother, their journey to confront the powerful darkness begins.

The game's playable characters include Marth from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light; Robin (male and female), Chrom, Lissa, Frederick, Cordelia, and Lucina from Fire Emblem Awakening; Corrin (female), Xander, Ryoma, Hinoka, Takumi, Camilla, and Leo from Fire Emblem Fates; and original characters Liane and Shion.

Koei Tecmo Games, its Omega Force team, and its Team Ninja team are developing the game. Omega Force is a subsidiary of Koei Tecmo, and it develops Koei Tecmo's Musou (Warriors) series of games. The series is known for its action hack-and-slash gameplay where players control a character to fight hundreds of enemies at once.
