Yesterday, Nintendo of America revealed that it would be dedicating each of the next three weeks to highlighting the different houses available in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. This coverage has begun today with a video showcasing the Black Eagles.
Led by Edelgard, the Black Eagles represent the Adrestian Empire, a dominant power of the southern half of Fódlan. This great territory consists of nobles and magic users at Garreg Mach Monastery, who turn to you for tutelage.
In the video, Edelgard herself introduces us to a number of Black Eagles students and even tries to persuade viewers to join up with her house. We get to meet Hubert, Petra, and Linhardt, all of whom have their own unique qualities.
The game launches exclusively on Nintendo Switch on 26th July.
Are you feeling the hype for Fire Emblem: Three Houses? Know which house you'll be joining? Let us know in the comments.

I'm such a fan of fire Emblem. I can't wait to see this one!
Blue lions all the way.
I can't wait for this.
Characters' design reminds me Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE
Nintendo's still overselling their Fire Emblem franchise.
It's getting harder and harder not to get spoiled half the game just by looking at the youtube newsfeed... The 26th can't come soon enough.
Team Valor, all the way!
(But for reals, I have no idea which story to go with. I'll need to study these videos thoroughly before buying)
Can't wait for this game, 3 weeks is a long time to wait. HAHA. I don't know which house I'm going to choose, guess I'll wait for the other leaders' videos before making my decision. I have the special edition preordered though!! I just hope that Nintendo and Intelligent Systems takes a little break in the FE series though after this. I'm such a fan but it's been very over-saturated in recent years. I would love it if they took a few years off Fire Emblem and instead brought out a new proper Advance Wars series as their next AAA title, ideally for Nintendo Switch!
Really looking forward to this one. Had it preordered for ages and all other Summer releases are being ignored until winter as I know this will be my only gaming for a good couple of months.
Glad they toned down the fanservice with this one, I was completely turned off of Fates because of the petting mini game. Definitely getting this day one.
Linhardt definitely does NOT look like a "he". And NO, I don't want "identity politics" shoehorned into my games, Nintendo.
I think that Black Eagles is going to be the most popular pick. I mean, it has the chick with the Jojo hat!
the big question of July? fire emblem or marvel ultimate alliance? or i could sell my kidney and buy both..
@Lizuka TBH that is what I am loving about it. The marketing for previous games gave WAY too much info and it felt like I already had played half the game before I even started. This is much better in my opinion.
I know absolutely nothing about Three Houses, and that makes it so much more exciting. Just like back in the day where I picked up my first Fire Emblem game in Blazing Sword, which ended up spiralling into me playing all Fire Emblem games because the franchise was THAT good.
So excited for this.
@Lizuka I agree the marketing has been dreadful but I was thinking today, it might have been tough with Mario Maker 2 considering Nintendo knows that Mario will appeal to a wider audience.
Not sure what house I will choose first? Leaning towards Golden Deer, excited for the release of this game!🙌🏼
Sorry, I'm on a media black out for this game. Pre-ordered day one lol.
I'd like to watch this but I went into Fates with way too much information and it killed it for me.
Am I the only one who wants Awakening and Fates on the Switch, like now!?
I still can't decide on the Black Eagles or Blue Lions.... :thinking_face:
Just..Just inject it into my veins already!
Threw all of my money at the screen and now I have a broken screen and 6 coins stuck in it.
I'm stoked to see how this turns out, definitely one of my big purchases for July. I love how they handled the academy thing and I especially love that it won't totally dominate the game, either.
Not loving the character designs but it often takes some time to learn to like the characters anyway.
I reserved the Seasons of Warfare editions, I’m really excited for this one...however, I won’t pay for the DLC. I refuse to give IS money for something that could have been in game or to reward them considering the terrible DLC we saw in Fates and Shadows of Valentía.
Slytherin, for sure.
Having never played a Fire Emblem game, the turn-based strategy portion appears similar to Mario + Rabbids - is that correct (as I love M+R)
@AtlanteanMan you can't be serious. This may be the dumbest comment I've ever read.
@AtlanteanMan
I thought Linhardt was a woman when I first saw the design, and I was surprised when it turned out he's a man. I doubt they're going to run with the angle you're fearing though.
