We've been looking into button reinforcement mods for our Switch controllers recently, as they'll get a heavy workout with the arrival of Fire Emblem Warriors (don't forget the YYYYYX combo). That aside, it seems like a very natural marriage of IPs, and with its release creeping ever closer Koei Tecmo continues to arrange steady reveals - in Japan at least.
This week's upcoming Famitsu issue will have another preview of the game, and it seems to confirm two new playable characters - Cordelia and Female Robin.
These are new additions beyond those characters shown in a flashy trailer earlier this Summer, and also clarifies that it's not just the male Robin in the roster.
Due at the end of September in Japan and 'Fall / Autumn' in the West, this should be a notable arrival for the Switch and, of course, also the New Nintendo 3DS. Are you looking forward to its release?

Need this game.
I wonder if the Robins can have support conversations with themselves.
I hope Alm and Celica will appear as dlc!
Male Corrin confirmed?!?
Getting the New 3DS version. I don't really have time to play two consoles. I barely have time to play my 3DS as it is.
@DaLoneSheep It would be hilarious if he wasn't 😂
I hope Caineghis and Nailah are in there somewhere.
Anyone wanna predict a release date? I doubt this will come in October due to Mario, so I predict mid-November.
Don't think we needed two Robins, I'll live though. Hopefully the two genders play differently.
As a massive Cordelia fanboy (she was my most dominate unit with Morgan as her kid) I look forward to her addition to Warriors!
I'm a big Warriors fan! I'm totally looking forward to this. Give me a UK release date!
I'm really hoping Henry gets added to the cast. I think they could do a lot with him involving crow attacks and dark magic. Plus I'm sure the masochistic dialogue would be hilarious.
I wonder if we will get male Corrin
I may just be weird, but this game's reveal was bigger than Mario Odyssey for me. That being said i'm all for this game and being a HUGE Cordelia fan this only helps my excitement. I kinda hope that
F-Robin is just a skin, but it's not the end of the world if she isn't.
Nice...now announce some Shadow Dragon characters.
@Xaldin Agreed! Henry has to be my second favorite dark mage in the franchise, but I wouldn't be too surprised if he isn't in because of Tharja. It's not like her addition denies his addition, but I think it greatly lowers his chances. At least Tharja's announcement makes Gaius have high chances!
I can't wait for this. I loved both versions of Hyrule Warriors. I am playing Fate/Extella on the Switch and I am enjoying it as well.
@CptProtonX
Ouch!!!
@Platinumhobo
This, there are select characters in Awakening/Fates that are kinda cool (So far only Frederick has made it in though). But what I'm really looking forward to are Shadow Dragon characters, Jeigan, Minerva, Gharnef, Michalis etc. bring it on.
@Kalmaro That is something I reaaaaaally want to see.
@Xaldin This. This this this. Henry is great.
@MegaVel91 I can't help but wonder what it would be called if someone got into a relationship with a opposition gender version of themselves.
@Kalmaro Selfcest?
Now if only Robin can have an alt/color/costume/etc. in red......
Also, Cordelia has been a SWELL help in heroes, so i'm sure she'll be a SWELL help in THESE, and Nintendo plz rev an amiibo of the FE:Warriors cast since I've wanted a Frederick amiibo for the longest of times, so I could pick said amiibo and pray!
Maybe we should just start calling this Fire Emblem Awakening Warriors.
Someone call me if Ike shows up.
@MegaVel91 I like it.
Nice, but they seriously need to put some characters from other games. Where are the Elibe characters at? And the Tellius characters? And some Valentia, Jugdral, and Magvel?
I hope they add a female manakete to the game :>
Inb4 obligatory where is X character comment.
Edit: too late, comments are already here.
@Larverto Not coming for this entry. The only character appearing for this title are from these games so far are Awakening, Fates, Shadow Dragon/Mystery of the Emblem. They may add Echoes as DLC, but no confirmation.
Hope the other games get used for dlc or the sequel since they can use those characters for that
F!Robin is likely an alt costume, due to how she's stuffed in the corner and M!Robin's render is shown.
Hyrule Warriors was my first foray into the musou genre men had a supeising amounts of fun, considering I had never played a Zelda I didn't know many characters.
I love fire emblem, and have already started thinking about what my favorite warriors will play like. I am excited for the game but REALLY excited for a real fire emblem game.
If only I could have relationships in Warriors to make completely OP children that I could dominate with.....
Still waiting for "short hair/eye patch" female Robin to get some love, but I suppose that will never happen unless they introduce character customization options.
But still how do you NOT go with the character wih the eye patch?
Need this!!!!!
When's Nowi and Tharja?
Cordelia is great but both Robins seem a little much.
Come on, guys! Give some lesser-known characters some love!
"That aside, it seems like a very natural marriage of IPs,..."
I'm in 100% agreement. I've been playing (and enjoying) Hyrule Warriors recently, and one of my first thoughts was "This would fit so well with Fire Emblem".
Cordelia was one of my favorite units from Awakening, as was Robin. Two welcome additions for sure!
Nice! A Pegasus Knight is a great addition to the roaster!
wheres my wafu camilla.
Ooh! Cordelia! I would have preferred Sumia, but Cordelia will do nicely!
@rjejr
Yo umbre, another coworker of mine bought a Switch. Just thought I'd keep you posted on Switchworld's progress 😉
Soooo is this confirmation that FE games before Awakening don't exist?
I'll just assume Marth's the exception and go with that.
Our Waifu is here
@JaxonH If they can't find them where you live I can buy the 2 in my Target and mail them to you. You can charge them what you like.
I hope your boss bought one. Are you guys scheduling ARMS Tournament Tuesdays yet or have you all moved on to Splatoon 2? Rabbids looks good but we're still waiting on Mario and XC2. Ni No Kuni 2 and DQXI are both 2018 so I really hope we go idea XC2 this holiday so Santa can go I deter it for me. My hardcover Zelda guidebook came yesterday, bought it for myself for my birthday. Going on the shelf with XCX and FFXV.
Gaming is good again.
Yay, Pegasus Knights! I hope we get two more to do the triangle attack.
And now that Female Robin is in, I don't think I'll use Male Robin unless it's mandatory. I hope she has fun dialogue with Chrom, their supports were hilarious.
So will her pegasus swing around and backflip like Marx/Xander's horse?
I really hope the answer is YES.
@Expa0 We feel exactly the same my friend. Though, I am happy Robin is in too.
