11Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave released on September 17, 2026 for Nintendo Switch 2. Three products were announced: a standard digital download, a standard physical copy, and a collector's set called the Dagdan Collection, which shipped on the same day. Pre-orders opened on June 9, 2026, the day Nintendo announced the date. This page was last checked in September 2026, after release.22Platform55Nintendo Switch 2 is the only platform. As of September 23, 2026, no version for any other console and no PC release had been announced, and no listing had surfaced on any storefront outside Nintendo's own. Nintendo has described the game from the start as launching only on the Nintendo Switch 2 system, and because it is a native Switch 2 title rather than an upgrade of an existing game, there is no Nintendo Switch 2 Edition branding and no Switch 1 version. It does not run on the original Switch. Release was simultaneous in Japan, North America and Europe, and the launch trailer description reads: "The Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave game is available now, only on the Nintendo Switch 2 system."77Editions and Pricing99Digital is deliberately cheaper than physical in the West, which follows the split pricing Nintendo of America introduced for Switch 2 first-party releases earlier in 2026 rather than anything specific to this game. Japanese figures are the storefront prices; the European collector's figure comes from retail listings rather than from a published Nintendo price.1111RegionStandard digitalStandard physicalDagdan CollectionUnited States$69.99$79.99$119.99United Kingdom£58.99£66.99Around £90 at retailEuropeNot publishedNot publishedAround €119.99 from retail listingsCanadaNot publishedCAD $109.99Not publishedAustraliaNot publishedAUD $119.95Not publishedJapan¥8,980¥9,980¥14,980 physical, ¥13,980 download1313Japan also has two SKUs with no Western equivalent: a download version of the collector's set, and a goods-only set at ¥6,000 that carries the physical items without the game. Both are sold through Nintendo's own Japanese store. The collector's set is officially the Dagdan Collection in the West and the Dagza Collection in Japan; other names in circulation, including Dagdan Edition and Dagdan Collector's Edition, are outlet shorthand rather than the product name.1414Physical Format1616The physical copy is a standard game card, not a Game-Key Card. That distinction matters on this hardware: a Game-Key Card ships with a licence rather than the game data and requires a download before it will run. Release listings that annotate Game-Key Card titles in the same launch week leave this one unannotated, and a Nintendo-focused game database records it as a standard game card. Nintendo has not said this in a press release of its own, so the reading rests on storefront and database listings rather than on a statement.1818Download Size2020The estimated download is 29.5 GB, published on the eShop listing and reported on September 13, 2026. That is the pre-launch estimate rather than a measured install, and first-party titles routinely shift after a launch update, so it is recorded here as the figure on the storefront four days out. No measured install size has been collected on this wiki since launch, as of September 2026. Ver. 1.0.0 published on September 10, 2026 and the Ver. 1.0.1 update was sitting in pre-loads on September 16, so the game could be pre-loaded ahead of release. Pre-load is a different thing from the pre-order, which opened on June 9.2222Version History2424Two versions shipped before the game reached shelves. Ver. 1.0.0 is the base build. Ver. 1.0.1 is the day one update and is the version most players started on, since it was already in pre-loads the day before release.2626VersionDateSizeWhat It ChangesVer. 1.0.0September 10, 2026Not publishedThe base version. No notes were published for it.Ver. 1.0.1September 16, 2026297 MBA free update that grants four extra weapons, received as the story progresses in locations such as Dagsion: the Chosen Sword, Chosen Lance and Breidablik from the Fire Emblem series, and the Royal Sword from Fire Emblem Shadows. Also carries general gameplay improvements.2828The English notes for Ver. 1.0.1 read: "We are granting our players extra weapons. As the story progresses, these weapons can be received in locations such as Dagsion. We hope they will prove useful in battle." They then list the Chosen Sword, Chosen Lance and Breidablik under the Fire Emblem series and the Royal Sword under Fire Emblem Shadows. This wiki records the names and how they are received, and takes no stats or lore for them from any other game. As of September 23, 2026 no version after 1.0.1 had been released.2929Dagdan Collection Contents3131The collector's set is not one product worldwide. The Japanese and Western manifests list different items and different art book page counts, and the difference is consistent enough across listings to read as a genuine regional split rather than a reporting error. Both ship on release day alongside the standard edition.3333ItemWestern setJapanese setGamePhysical copyPhysical copy, with a download version also soldArt book200 pagesAround 150 pages, titled as a Dagdan art bookArt cardsCharacter art cards12 art cardsCaseSteel game caseCard case to steel-case specification, in a printed art boxMap or posterA map of DagdaA poster titled for the land of Dagda3535Two cautions apply. Nintendo's own press copy names the Western contents as a steel game case, character art cards, a map of Dagda and an art book, and gives no page count at all, so the 200-page figure comes from storefront and retail listings rather than from a press release. A separate European collector's listing describes an A1 poster in place of the map, which is a third manifest again; no dimension is asserted here. Both the page count and the map-versus-poster question are worth rechecking once sets are in buyers' hands.3737Pre-Orders3939Pre-orders opened on June 9, 2026 through the Nintendo eShop and at retail, and were still open at the time of the August presentation. The Dagdan Collection sold out on Nintendo's own stores shortly after opening, and further stock was made available around the August 4 presentation. In Japan, individual stores attach their own pre-order bonuses: a coaster carrying a clan-mark design and an acrylic puzzle block are two that have been announced. Those bonuses are Japan-only and differ from store to store. Buyers going through Nintendo's own UK store are listed as receiving a porcelain trinket dish.4141Age Ratings4343BoardRatingCEROCESRBTPEGI12USK12ACBMGRAC12GSRR154545Content Descriptors4646The ESRB rating carries five content descriptors: fantasy violence, use of alcohol, mild language, suggestive themes, and in-game purchases. The last of those is a rating-board label and nothing more. As of September 23, 2026, a week after launch, no downloadable content, expansion pass or in-game store had been announced for this game, and neither the August presentation nor the press material that accompanied it mentioned any. A purchases descriptor is a publisher-submitted disclosure rather than an accident, so it is worth noting, but it is not by itself an announcement of anything and this wiki draws no conclusion from it.4848What Has Not Been Announced5050Each line below was re-checked in September 2026 against official presentations, publisher press copy, storefront listings reachable to this wiki, and the launch-window coverage published since August. Nintendo's own product and eShop pages are not among the surfaces this wiki can check, and those are the pages where an amiibo compatibility line, an accessibility block or a second storefront listing would normally sit, so read these as absences across the surfaces named rather than as statements about the shipped game.5252FeatureStatus as of September 2026amiibo supportNo amiibo has been announced for this game and no amiibo function has been described. Coverage of the dedicated presentation noted the absence at the time, and nothing since, including the launch, has named one.Downloadable contentNothing announced. Coverage of the presentation noted that neither it nor the accompanying press material mentioned any, and none had been announced by September 23, 2026. One fan database states that Nintendo confirmed there will be no paid expansion pass; no such statement exists in any published Nintendo material and the claim is not repeated here.Expansion pass or season passNothing announced.

Critical reception was strongly positive: review scores clustered around 9 out of 10, with several top marks among them, and none of the roughly seventy reviews counted by late September 2026 was negative. No aggregate figure is reproduced on this wiki.5757Reviewers reported anywhere from about 80 hours to more than 200 hours. The most granular breakdown puts a first route at roughly 35 hours, each route after it at 20 to 35 hours, and about 100 hours to complete all four Part 1 campaigns.5959The preview embargo had lifted earlier, on August 13, 2026, when roughly two dozen hands-on impressions ran on a build covering the prologue and the first five chapters of all four routes. Those carried no scores.6161Sales6363The game debuted at number two on the UK physical sales chart in its launch week. As of September 23, 2026, Nintendo had not published a sales figure or milestone for it.6565Announcement Timeline6767DateEventSeptember 12, 2025Announced with a reveal trailer at the close of a Nintendo Direct.June 9, 2026Release date announced in a Nintendo Direct, with a new trailer.

It is a media fact and nothing more: the manga is not a source for anything on this wiki, and no plot point, character detail or mechanic is taken from it.7272FieldDetailTitleFire Emblem: Fortune's Weave (ファイアーエムブレム 万紫千紅)IllustratorKazuro KyouPublisherShueisha, in collaboration with Nintendo and Intelligent SystemsAnnouncedAugust 4, 2026Serialization beganSeptember 4, 2026ScheduleMonthlyWhere it runsIn print in Saikyō Jump, and digitally through the Jump+ appEnglish releaseThe prologue (Chapter 0) was released in English, free, in the Nintendo Today! app in mid-September 2026.
