Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia is an upcoming tactical role-playing game developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS handheld video game console. The game is a full remake of the 1992 Famicom title Fire Emblem Gaiden, the second entry in the Fire Emblem series.
Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia is a full remake of Fire Emblem Gaiden. The second entry in the Fire Emblem series, Gaiden was released in 1992 for the Famicom. The game was notable for breaking away from the gameplay precedents set in its predecessor Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light; while it carried over the tactical turn-based battle system of the first game, it included new features such as navigable towns and overworld, and simplified mechanics. Due to these changes, Gaiden came to be considered the black sheep of the series, with many of its new elements being dropped for subsequent entries. Gaiden did not receive a Western release.Fire Emblem Echoes is a full remake of Gaiden, reimagining the game's world while preserving its unconventional gameplay elements. The characters were redesigned by Hidari. The game will feature full voice acting, and anime cutscenes by Studio Khara.
The title was first announced in January 2017 during a Nintendo Direct broadcast dedicated to the Fire Emblem series. In Japan, multiple versions of the game will be released; in addition to the standard release, there will be a Limited Edition with a special soundtrack, and a "Valentia Complete" edition featuring the contents of the limited edition with added items including an artbook. The game will be released in Japan on April 20, 2017; in North America and Europe on May 19; and in Australia on May 20.Amiibo figures of the game's protagonists Alm and Celica are set for release alongside the game. The game will feature full voice acting for all character dialogue, but the English release does not include dual audio.
