Oh shit, Nintendo stealth-dropped the Expansion Pass for Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave. The pass adds new content in several waves, with the first one already out now.
Wave 1 is a little anemic but sure to please Three Houses fans with the addition of four legendary hero’s relics: The Areadbhar spear, the Aymr axe, the Failnaught bow, and the Sword of the Creator. Maybe Seteth, the only guy to straddle both Fortune’s Weave and Three Houses, will make a comment alluding to any previous users of the weapons. A Flame Lord can dream.
Waves 2 and 3 are where things get really interesting. In Wave 2, which has an estimated time of arrival of holiday 2026, new outfits will be added to the game that any of the Flame Lords or their companions can wear—the trailer features Father Fabio in a fit that you wouldn’t expect to find a man of the cloth wearing. But I’m more interested in the fact that several of the game’s gods will be joining you in the fight to save the world.
Fire Emblem is one of those rare games in which gods are real and actually walk among the people. And I remember thinking, as the story of Fortune’s Weave initially unfolded, that if the gods’ world is under threat from one of their own, why leave the responsibility of stopping the evil to mere mortals? After all, there never seems to be any kind of non-interference pact in these games and other stories of godly treachery to serve as an explanation for why the other all-powerful divinities don’t get involved.
