CIRCLE Entertainment has announced Mercenaries Wings: The False Phoenix for Nintendo Switch, a new game coming to the eShop later this year.
Once again developed by RideonJapan, Mercenaries Wings: The False Phoenix is not a direct sequel to the tactical RPG trilogy in Mercenaries Saga Chronicles (which was released on Switch earlier this year), but instead "offers a ‘separate story and worldview’ while also serving as a standalone Mercenaries game apart from that trilogy series."
Details are still rather few and far between for the release, but we do know that the game's standalone nature means that players don't need to have played the original trilogy to fully enjoy the game. The news comes as part of a month of reveals planned throughout July from the publisher, so we can expect to see and hear more in the coming weeks.
We don't have a confirmed release date just yet, but CIRCLE says that it will arrive "before the end of the year".

Woo! Definitely picking that one up. Really enjoyed the ones on the 3DS eShop.
Yes please, loving all the RPG goodness on the switch
Yes !! Got over 60 hours of play out of saga chronicles. So will be all over this . Whatever it is !
Is it still an SRPG?
I downloaded the trilogy on Switch when it released, but have yet to play it.
Sweet!
@kevin74 Same here. I’m saving it for when I have a drought in games I want to play first or when I go on a trip.
Maybe I should give the Mercenaries games another chance. I bought them, but very quickly decided it was a much more bland version of Disgaea. Perhaps if I had pushed deeper into it, it would have gotten more interesting.
Still looking forward to the physical release of Mercenaries Saga Chronicles on Switch later this year. Keep the rpg games coming, developers.
I relented at the final missions of White Lions and haven't played the game since. The end game feels overly random and grindy and it seems like their idea of a challenging boss is "it will one-shoot your characters no matter what level they are and also summon reinforcements all the time".
I really don't want to finish White Lions, but maybe I will try again with the other two.
Somehow the word "Phoenix" in there got my hopes up for a new Phoenix Wright game.
