Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore releases on Switch next year

During the September 4 Nintendo Direct, the beloved publisher revealed that the hit Wii U RPG, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE would be coming to the Nintendo Switch next year as Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore.

The fun, music-based RPG blends together the worlds of Fire Emblem and Atlus games in a crossover that was well received and highly praised by fans of both franchises. The game is currently set to release on January 17, 2020 and will allow players to return to the world of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE from the comfort of their Nintendo Switch in both portable and docked mode.

According to Nintendo:

The worlds of the Fire Emblem™ series and Atlus games have crossed paths again and the result is coming to the Nintendo Switch™ system. An interdimensional evil has invaded modern-day Tokyo, resulting in this fantastical barrage of music, style, and yes, danger. So, fight back! Battle through dungeons to pump up your strategy and creatively decimate your foes…before all hope fades to black.

You and the rising stars you call friends will need to call on your own creative power—manifested as iconic Fire Emblem characters—to wage a secret war on rogue spirits that feed on creativity. Each encounter will immerse you in deep, turn-based battles that blend the combat of the Fire Emblem and Shin Megami Tensei series into one brutal harmony. Fuse items to craft weaponry; then play to your strengths and crush your foes. Around every corner you’ll find fun nods to multiple fandoms, including Fire Emblem references, dungeons themed to the entertainment industry, and stunning musical performances.
