Apart from that a Limited Edition "Fire Emblem Warriors" for the Nintendo Switch console has also been announced for Europe. It includes the three-disc original soundtrack and character art cards.

"Fire Emblem Warriors" will be released first in Japan. Then fans in Europe and in the U.S. will have to wait for the game Oct. 20. When it does come out in the west, it will be released alongside the new Chrom and Tiki amiibo.

"Fire Emblem Warriors" brings together heroes from previous installments of the long-running video game franchise and takes them to a new kingdom to face off against the menacing Chaos Dragon.

Gameplay also heavily borrows from the musou style in the "Dynasty Warriors" series by Koei Tecmo, which means players will likely be tasked to complete missions and take on packs of enemies.

"Fire Emblem Warriors" will also allow players to learn more about their allies by putting them through series of events where they can bond and get to know each other more. The official description for the game reads:

Take direct control of known and original Fire Emblem characters, issue them strategic commands in the midst of battle, pair up heroes to unleash stunning attacks, and more. Unlock new playable heroes, each with their own unique moves, special attacks, weapon types, and voiced dialogue in this large-scale action game from the Hyrule Warriors team.
