Much like other Warriors games, this will take the cast of Fire Emblem: Three Houses and place them into a hack-and-slash action setting, where they can take on hordes of enemies all by themselves. Each of the characters revealed so far have their own distinct playstyle, which is dependent on the weapons they utilize. Edelgard of the Black Eagles uses an axe, Blue Lions leader Dimitri wields a lance, while Claude from the Golden Deer flies atop a mounted dragon and shoots enemies with his bow.

This can be seen in part of the screenshot’s UI, where in the bottom left, the purple haired sword user can be seen selected and could be commanded to attack an enemy that is much higher on the map. The character can be seen again in the second screenshot provided, where they are off to the right-hand side, dining along with Blue Lions leader Dimitri. The screenshot also shows off that fellow Blue Lions classmate Mercedes has a new alternate timeskip design, which seemingly indicates her status as a playable character as well.
The final screenshot show off a menu that will appear in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, which details the map and mission that the player will be taking on as well as rewards upon a victory, along with what seems to be an extra reward for getting an S-Rank on that map. These screenshots certainly open up some questions about potential playable characters, as well as the role that the new purple haired swordsman plays in the narrative of this game, which is sure to excite fans for Three Hopes’ release later this summer.
Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes launches for Nintendo Switch on June 24.
