Rogers states that the game is a collaborative effort between Intelligent Systems, Warriors developer Koei Tecmo, and Gust — a division of Koei Tecmo and creators of the Atelier series. The detail about Emblems being used to summon Fire Emblem characters sounds interesting and like it will give the game a depth and complexity. Also, Gust's cel-shaded visual style should add a fascinating new look to the Fire Emblem universe.

The question that arises is: if the game has been ready for over a year, when will it release for the Nintendo Switch? Rogers's post does not reveal anything about a release window or even a prediction, but it is safe to say that Fire Emblems games draw enough attention that even without too much information about the game, fans will be excited to flock to retailers to pick the game up for themselves.

It is true that rumors and speculation about games can be dangerous, but Kelly Rogers is known to provide accurate information about Nintendo leaks, so fans can look forward to hearing more news about a new Fire Emblem game soon.
