Fire Emblem Warriors Introduces Anna as Playable Character

Anna is recurring character throughout game series

Nintendo began streaming a trailer for Koei Tecmo Games' Fire Emblem Warriors (Fire Emblem Musou) Nintendo 3DS and Switch game on Wednesday. The video reveals Anna as a playable character. Anna is a recurring character who appears in almost every Fire Emblem game as a guide and system navigator. The below trailer hints at Anna's role in the new game, where Anna detects no save data for the game and asks the player to make a new save file.

The game launched in Japan on Thursday, and will ship in North America and Europe on October 20. The North American Special Edition will include a three-CD soundtrack, 25 cards with character art and slip case container, and a dual-sided poster showing the game's characters.

The game's story begins when, the Kingdom of Aitriss is enveloped in darkness without warning, and an otherworldly gate appears within the castle. Powerful creatures overpower the castle guards. The castle soon falls, and the darkness slowly but surely encroaches upon the Kingdom. But there is hope in the form of Shion and Liane, the prince and princess who escaped even as the castle burned. They possess a thread that ties together the destiny of heroes. Bearing the Shield of Fire granted to them by their mother, their journey to confront the powerful darkness begins.

The game's playable characters include:

  • Marth, Tiki, Caeda from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light
  • Robin (male and female), Chrom, Lissa, Frederick, Cordelia, and Lucina from Fire Emblem Awakening
  • Corrin (male and female), Ryoma, Hinoka, Takumi, Sakura, Xander, Camilla, Leo, and Elise from Fire Emblem Fates
  • Lyn from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade
  • Celica from Fire Emblem Gaiden/Fire Emblem: Shadows of Valentia
  • Original characters Liane and Shion

Koei Tecmo Games, its Omega Force team, and its Team Ninja team are developing the game. Omega Force is a subsidiary of Koei Tecmo, and it develops Koei Tecmo's Musou (Warriors) series of games. The series is known for its action hack-and-slash gameplay where players control a character to fight hundreds of enemies at once.
