Revision 5

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave launches 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 ships on the same day. Pre-orders opened on June 9, 2026, the day Nintendo announced the date. This page was last checked on September 13, 2026, four days before release.

Platform

Nintendo Switch 2 is the only platform. No version for any other console has been announced, no PC release has been announced, and no listing has 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 will not run on the original Switch. Release is simultaneous in Japan, North America and Europe.

Editions and Pricing

The figures below are the announced storefront prices. Regional prices are given for the regions that have published them. Digital is deliberately cheaper than physical, 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.

No euro or yen price has appeared in any material checked for this page. The collector's set is officially the Dagdan Collection; other names in circulation, including Dagdan Edition and Dagdan Collector's Edition, are outlet shorthand rather than the product name. In Japan it is sold as the Dagza Collection.

Physical Format

The 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.

Download Size

The 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 pre-load or pre-download date has been announced, which is a separate thing from the pre-order that opened on June 9.

Dagdan Collection Contents

The Dagdan Collection releases alongside the standard edition rather than after it. Nintendo's presentation named a 150-page art book and 12 character art cards, followed by "and more"; the accompanying press description fills in the rest.

Two details on that list are contested. The 150-page figure is the one Nintendo stated on camera, while a page count of 200 circulates from a single secondary reading; the camera figure is used here. The map is given in Nintendo's own wording, while one retailer listing describes the same item as an A1 poster; the first-party wording is used here and no dimension is asserted. Both are worth rechecking once the set is in buyers' hands.

Pre-Orders

Pre-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.

Age Ratings

Content Descriptors

The 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 13, 2026, no downloadable content, expansion pass or in-game store has 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.

What Has Not Been Announced

Each line below was re-checked on September 13, 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 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.

Reviews

No review of the game had been published anywhere this wiki checked as of September 13, 2026. The preview embargo lifted on August 13, 2026 and roughly two dozen outlets ran hands-on impressions of a build covering the prologue and the first five chapters of all four routes, but those are previews rather than reviews and carry no scores. At least one outlet has said in print that its full review will run before the September 17 release, so a review embargo exists; no date or time for it has been published. Expect scored coverage between now and launch day.

Announcement Timeline

Related Media

A manga adaptation was announced in the Japanese cut of the August presentation, which runs about half a minute longer than the English cuts for that reason. 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.

It began serialising thirteen days before the game itself launches, so the manga is running ahead of the release rather than trailing it. A first wave of physical merchandise was announced on September 11, 2026 for sale from launch day, covering clear files, a sketchbook, a muffler towel, pins, acrylic stands, tin badges, acrylic keyrings and a tote bag, with a second wave described as coming soon. Scale figures of Theodora and Leda were announced at the same time with no price, date or manufacturer attached.
