Introduction

Nintendo has recently revealed that two new Nintendo Switch 2 titles have been provisionally rated by PEGI, offering a glimpse at the future of its game lineup. The titles in question are "Splatoon Raiders" and "Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave." These games are still in development, but their age ratings now give us a better idea of what to expect.

Splatoon Raiders

"Splatoon Raiders" is a spin-off of the popular Splatoon series, known for its unique mix of shooter elements and colorful visuals. With a PEGI 7 rating, the game is suitable for a younger audience, similar to "Splatoon 3." Details about the gameplay and the specific mechanics that set this spin-off apart from the main series have not yet been revealed, but expectations are already high among fans.

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave

On the other end of Nintendo's portfolio, "Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave" is the latest addition to the acclaimed Fire Emblem series. The game has received a PEGI 12 rating, meaning it is more suitable for older teens and adults. This lines up with the ratings of earlier entries such as "Fire Emblem: Three Houses" and "Fire Emblem: Engage." With this new installment, fans can once again look forward to the mix of strategic thinking and emotional storytelling that defines the franchise.

Release date

Although no specific release dates have been confirmed yet, both titles are currently planned for release in 2026. That naturally raises curiosity about the games' content and what Nintendo has in store for its marketing campaigns. With "Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream" and "Yoshi and the Mysterious Book" also on the way, it remains to be seen how these new titles fit into Nintendo's broader strategy.
