Around a month ago Corecell Technology gave a surprising update on AeternoBlade 2, a title previously announced for the 3DS eShop that had seemingly drifted into limbo in 2015. It was announced that the original artistic design team had resigned and that the project had shifted to consoles, including the Nintendo Switch. It was also confirmed that an Indiegogo campaign would be launched to help fund the game.
There's no sign yet of that crowdfunding campaign, but Corecell has now issued "the first screenshot set" for the game, evidently designed to showcase the direction the game is now taking; it's being developed in Unreal. You can see these screens below.
We'll keep an eye out for the Indiegogo campaign. Have you played the original on 3DS, and are you keen to see this title eventually make it to Switch?

It does look quite nice compared to the first one. Hopefully they don't overprice it again.
This looks way better than the first.
If they learn from the first entry and improve on its weak areas, this could be a solid game.
I played the demo for the original on 3DS but, the color scheme was so dark and drab it made focusing on what was going on really boring. Played the whole demo and didn't desire to play anymore at all. That being said, it appears as if maybe they are addressing some of those issues in the sequel.
This looks exceedingly generic. The cast looks like they're from a direct-to-dvd movie. If this gets released I will be astounded if it's even a 6.
I wish all games were cell shaded but I know that's just me
Looks nice, I have but have yet to playthrough the original
Eh, might be good. I'm still waiting for NL to address the fact that 3DS probably won't get another mainline FE game after Shadows of Valentia...
@IronMan28 It makes sense, three for a system is lots. Fire Emblem on the Switch has me quite excited at the prospect alone. I do love having three Fire Emblems on the go though.
My absolute favourite series
I hope this one actually turns out decent. I didn't really like the first one at all
There's a reason the first one is on sale like at least once a month.
This actually looks kinda nice considering it's once again likely to be a budget title.The dude with the halberd looks particularly cool. Graphics aside, it was the poor animations that crippled the first game, if they can make it smooth and keep the gameplay consistent there's no reason this shouldn't be a good little metroidvania and a good fit for the Switch's handheld capabilities.
@IronMan28 It had a good run with 3! (5 if you count each Fates part)
Haven't played original but would like to check it out on the Switch
Looks nice, want to see it in motion. I don't know anything about this game. ^^
@ThomasBW84 @xPH03N1Xx86 For sure, it had an excellent run. I was probably asking the wrong way, but it's surprising NL hasn't posted an article about it! Regardless, FE on Switch will be amazing. I'm very glad it's going to be on a console again since I didn't get around to playing the series until Awakening.
@IronMan28 Indeed. I hope FE's return to console can be on par/better than Radiant Dawn. Cannot wait to have Fire Emblem in HD, if I hadn't already bought a Switch at launch, Fire Emblem would have made me get one.
