Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia announced for 3DS

January 19, 2017

During the Fire Emblem-themed Nintendo Direct this morning, a brand new game titled Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia was announced for the Nintendo 3DS.

The game is inspired by Fire Emblem Gaiden, which was released on the NES in Japan only in 1992. It follows the story of two protagonists, Alm and Celica, who are in a world ruled and divided by two gods. The game will feature free-roaming segments, combat in dungeons and “flexible character progression.”

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia will be released on May 19 this year. Along side the game will launch Amiibo figurines of Alm and Celica, who will be bundled as a 2-pack.
