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.
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.
Digital 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.
Region | Standard digital | Standard physical | Dagdan Collection |
|---|---|---|---|
United States | $69.99 | $79.99 | $119.99 |
United Kingdom | £58.99 | £66.99 | Around £90 at retail |
Europe | Not published | Not published | Around €119.99 from retail listings |
Canada | Not published | CAD $109.99 | Not published |
Australia | Not published | AUD $119.95 | Not published |
Japan | ¥8,980 | ¥9,980 | ¥14,980 physical, ¥13,980 download |
Japan 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.
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.
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. A date of September 10 circulates, but it is derived from Nintendo's general pre-order policy in North America rather than from anything said about this game, so it is not recorded here as a fact. Pre-load is a different thing from the pre-order, which opened on June 9.
The 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.
Item | Western set | Japanese set |
|---|---|---|
Game | Physical copy | Physical copy, with a download version also sold |
Art book | 200 pages | Around 150 pages, titled as a Dagdan art book |
Art cards | Character art cards | 12 art cards |
Case | Steel game case | Card case to steel-case specification, in a printed art box |
Map or poster | A map of Dagda | A poster titled for the land of Dagda |
Two 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.
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.

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.
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, 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.
Feature | Status as of September 13, 2026 |
|---|---|
amiibo support | No amiibo has been announced for this game, no amiibo function has been described, and coverage of the dedicated presentation noted the absence of amiibo support at the time. Nothing since has named one. |
Downloadable content | Nothing announced. Coverage of the presentation noted that neither it nor the accompanying press material mentioned any. 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 pass | Nothing announced. No such product has appeared on any storefront listing. |
Post-launch content roadmap | Nothing announced. No update schedule or content plan has been published. |
Day-one patch | No version number, contents or size has been published. |
Pre-load date | Not announced. Distinct from the pre-order, which opened June 9, 2026. |
Maddening difficulty | Not announced. Two difficulty settings are confirmed. See Difficulty and Modes. |
Multiplayer | None. The game is listed as single player only. |
PC or other console release | Nothing announced. Nintendo Switch 2 only. |
No scored review of the game had been published anywhere this wiki checked as of September 13, 2026, and no aggregate score exists. 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; 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 announced. A date of September 16 circulates without a source behind it and is not recorded here.

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.
For what the game is and how it plays, see Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. The difficulty and permadeath settings chosen at the start of a run are on Difficulty and Modes, the ten track Special Release that went live alongside the August presentation is covered on Soundtrack, and the mouse input new to the series on this hardware sits on Controls.
