The new Fire Emblem game, known as Fire Emblem If in Japan, will launch in North America and Europe next year as Fire Emblem Fates, Nintendo announced.
Like Japan, two versions of the game will be launched in North America and Europe, offering players the choice to fight an opposite force or join the other side and try to make changes from within. Players take on the role of the main character and command an army, while struggling to decide whether to help blood relatives or the family that raised him/her.

Your Battle. Your Future. Your Fate.
Two kingdoms at war – the peace-loving Hoshido and the glory-seeking Nohr – It’s up to the player to decide which side to take. As the prince/princess of Hoshido, who was raised by Nohr royal family, you will be torn between two families you love. Whichever path you take, you will face different types of challenges.
Features
- For the first time in the series, the player plays as the main character and commands his or her own army. The player character is customizable avatar, like in the Fire Emblem Awakening game. Select male or female with many options.
- During the game, the player must make the choice between Hoshido and Nohr. Each path will offer a completely different storyline with a different set of characters to recruit as allies.
- The Hoshido path is a more traditional path as you work together with your allies to fend off Nohrian invaders.
- The Nohr path will force you to revolutionize an unruly kingdom from the inside – this path offers a slightly more complex story and will be more challenging.
