Every Fire Emblem Game on Nintendo Switch in 2025

The Nintendo Switch serves as a major hub for the Fire Emblem tactical RPG series, hosting a total of five distinct games. These releases include two primary mainline entries and three unique spinoff titles that blend the franchise's strategy elements with other genres. Beyond the standard library, players with a Nintendo Switch Online subscription can access three classic games from the series' history.

As the console approaches the end of its lifecycle, attention is shifting toward the next generation. Nintendo has officially announced a new installment titled Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, scheduled for release on the Switch 2 in 2026. This guide details every game currently playable on the Switch and what fans can expect in the future.

The Nintendo Switch library contains five specific Fire Emblem releases. These are divided into two mainline games and three spinoffs, each offering a different gameplay experience while maintaining the series' core identity.

Fire Emblem Warriors (2017)

The first entry released for the system was Fire Emblem Warriors in 2017. Developed by Omega Force in collaboration with Team Ninja, this title is a crossover with the Dynasty Warriors franchise. It blends the team-based strategy of Fire Emblem with the button-mashing, hack-and-slash action typical of Dynasty Warriors. While the story is light, it serves as a worthwhile spinoff for action fans.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses (2019)

Released in 2019, Fire Emblem: Three Houses marked a significant milestone as the first mainline entry on the Switch and the first on a home console in 12 years. It was a critical and commercial success, balancing large-scale battles with intimate social simulation. Players spend time in a monastery training, teaching, and bonding with characters through conversations. The game is widely considered the series' best and an ideal starting point.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore (2020)

In 2020, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore arrived as an expanded port of the Wii U original. This crossover between Fire Emblem and Atlus's Shin Megami Tensei blends the "weapon triangle" combat system with flashy dungeon crawling. The narrative is a comedic send-up of Japanese pop culture, prioritizing action over lore.

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes (2023)

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes represents a second collaboration with Omega Force. Serving as an alternate timeline retelling of Three Houses, it features the protagonist Byleth as a villain. This title integrates more of the series' social and tactical mechanics into the Dynasty Warriors framework than its predecessor.

Fire Emblem Engage (2023)

The most recent release, Fire Emblem Engage, is the second mainline title on the system. It refines the hub mechanics of Three Houses while refocusing on tactical combat, specifically reintroducing the "weapon triangle" system. The story follows the Divine Dragon Alear, who must collect 12 rings to save the continent of Elyos. These rings allow players to summon past heroes like Marth, Ike, and Byleth.

Beyond the modern retail releases, Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can access legacy content. There are currently two Fire Emblem games available with a standard subscription outside of Japan.

• Fire Emblem (2003): The Game Boy Advance debut, also known as Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade.
• Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones (2004): The follow-up title on the Game Boy Advance.

For subscribers to the Expansion Pack, a third title was added with the launch of GameCube games on the Switch 2. This game is Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (2005), which is currently exclusive to Switch 2 owners with the higher-tier subscription.

While Fire Emblem Shadows recently launched for mobile devices, it does not appear to be coming to Switch systems. However, the future of the series on Nintendo hardware remains bright. During a September Nintendo Direct, a new game was announced for the upcoming Switch 2.

The upcoming title is named Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. Although a specific release date has not been provided, Nintendo confirmed that the game will launch sometime in 2026. The company has released the first official trailer, offering the initial glimpse of what to expect from the next generation of tactical RPG warfare.
