Fire Emblem is back! Fortune's Weave is right around the corner, and in the run-up to its release on 17th September, Nintendo is rolling out the character introductions.
Just like in previous series entries, we'd wager that team building will play a huge part in the next adventure, so we've assembled the following guide for you to keep track of every Fortune's Weave character revealed so far.
We've included an image of each character, accompanied by a small blurb as shared on Nintendo Today. So, let's start thinking about who we might want on our roster.
