Gameplay
Much like its predecessor, Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is a hack-and-slash action role-playing game with gameplay similar to the Dynasty Warriors series. Players will control characters from Fire Emblem: Three Houses including Edelgard, Dimitri, Claude, and a new character, Shez, who like most avatars in the Fire Emblem series, can be either male or female.[2]
Plot
The game will take place on the continent of Fódlan and will feature a new story based on the war depicted in Fire Emblem: Three Houses.[2] In the tradition of Three Houses, the game will have at least three unique storylines: Scarlet Blaze, Azure Gleam, and Golden Wildfire, each following one of the three house leaders. It diverges from the storyline of its predecessor game in that Byleth, the playable character of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, is the antagonist of Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, as revealed in a trailer titled "Mysterious Mercenary" released on April 12, 2022. Three Hopes introduces several new characters to fight alongside the cast of Three Houses, including an unnamed pink-haired man and Arval, a mysterious white-robed being who opposes Sothis in the game's cover art.
