Dungeons return to Fire Emblem in Fortune's Weave after nine years

At this year’s Summer Game Fest, Nintendo’s Direct revealed Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave with a new trailer and a release date, but the presentation did not highlight one notable feature.

Nintendo’s store page states: "You can explore the world to strengthen your army and find resources. Train and recruit allies in Dagsion, or venture out into the land to fight bandits and monsters, delve through dungeons, and more."

Dungeons have not appeared in the series since the 2017 3DS remake Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, itself a remake of 1992's Japan-only Fire Emblem Gaiden. A shot in the trailer appears to show a dungeon sequence, with Leda opening a chest.

Fire Emblem games are already lengthy, and dungeon crawling is likely to add to that. With a September release on the calendar, Fortune’s Weave could end up occupying a lot of players’ free time.
