Edelgard and co. get some new duds
The next faction spotlight forFire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopesis here, and it’s all about Edelgard and the Black Eagles.
The Adrestian Empire is the banner they’ll be fighting under, butThree Housesplayers will remember this motley crew as the Black Eagles. Edelgard is here, of course, but in today’s trailer we get to see all the former students in action.

There are some neat touches here, considering the variety of skillsets in the Black Eagles. Two little aspects I dug were Dorothea using singing as a weapon, and Petra’s big attack utilizing a bow (since she is an Assassin class when you fight her in other houses’ campaigns).
Two houses down, one to go
That’s two ofFire Emblem: Three Houses‘ big factions down, one left to go. It looks like since we have Black Eagles andBlue Lionscovered, the Golden Deer will be the last crew to get a spotlight.
That said, it’s impressive to see how every student in each house is a full-on playable character inFire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. With just the three houses and protagonist Shez, that’s 25 characters.

I’m curious to see if we get any of the school staff or the endearing basement goths from theAshen Wolves campaign. And I’d be really surprised if Anna, the series’ long-running “mascot” merchant, doesn’t also make an appearance.
I’m hopeful (ha) thatFire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopeswill turn out as a pretty good musou game, as the Nintendo crossovers have run the gamut. TheHyrule Warriorsside has beengenerally solidtopretty darn good. ButFire Emblem Warriorsmissed some of that spark.

With a laser focus on just Fódlan and the world ofFire Emblem: Three Houses, maybeThree Hopescan make theWarriorsside click.Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopeshits Nintendo Switch on June 24.
