Fire Emblem Engage is out this Friday, but some lucky people have already got their hands on the game. According to Fendoreo1 on ResetEra (don't click the link if you want to avoid spoilers), someone is currently playing through the entirety of Fire Emblem Engage and posting their impressions online — including screenshots.
If you don't want to know anything else about the upcoming game, it's best to get muting right away as new details are emerging such as additional characters, maps, cutscenes, and story beats. Be safe out there!
This is yet another game in a long line of Nintendo releases that leaked online days before the game launched. Pokémon Scarlet & Violet were victims of this, as were Bayonetta 3, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and more.
In the meantime, if you want some lovely spoiler-free gameplay for the newest Fire Emblem game, we've got five minutes of brand-new gameplay to give you a little taste of what to expect come Friday 20th January.
Will you be hiding from the internet until the game drops on Friday? Let us know in the comments!

How are people getting these leaks?
These leakers are so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
Do these leaks come from folks who are shipped the game early (or work in stores that have early stock?)
@Pally356 Early copies are already in the wild at retailers. Chances are some people that work with the inventory want their 5 min of internet fame.
Spoiler alert but... rumor has it the final boss is a dragon. Which would be a massive departure from every other game in the series!
Turns out that the story is a letdown. That’s unfortunate.
@Browny inconceivable!! Spoilers in this very thread! Though to be honest, I wouldn’t trust this one. Dragons? Ha, unlikely!!
I, for one, welcome these and will seek them out. They help me decide if a game is worth a full $60 or not.
@EaglyTheKawaiiShika protect me
cant wait to play it even more even if some say the story has issues its all about the gameplay.
I saw a little bit of it because unfortunately I am just so darn curious but after seeing a pretty big spoiler I have removed all sense of curiosity to look further. Hope I don’t hear much else and am looking forward to the reviews tomorrow!
Better stay away from those leaks. I look forward for the review for this game.
don't people know already to stop looking on the internet and just dive into a game instead?
@ChakraStomps some people just want to be spoiled so they can either hate on the art style or complain about other things about the game.
Thanks for the heads up but I'm always wary of leaks before any major release anyway.
@RiasGremory you can say that again, had a fierce dicussion few days ago on Discord because few people I knew kept on complaining how "anime" it looks.
Proved them it did always look anime, then they shifted the discussion how stupid the MC is because of two tone hair colour... (and that was enough reason to hate the game)
Haters gonna hate no matter if they are right or not.
@Rayquaza2510 Reason why you cant please some people these days.
@EaglyTheKawaiiShika thanks so much, do you have those little cans of tuna to keep me busy until I can come out again?
@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Perfect, as I only need 3 days 3 hrs 24 mins
@Pizzamorg better becarful of food tampering this whole hidden in the bunker sounds shady.
@Rayquaza2510 I think complaining about the hair as if it's a serious reason to not get the game is genuinely one of the more nonsensical things I've read in quite a while.
@EaglyTheKawaiiShika sure your last post is all the evidence we need .....FBI take Eagly away.
I just want to know if there will be more Divine Editions made available. I’ve been trying to get a collectors edition of any Fire Emblem game since Awakening and have missed out every time.
It took so long... Pokemon was uploaded 10 days before release.
I’m tempted to look, but only to know how strong the narrative is and how long the title is. I don’t want to know anything else, so I’ll wait for reviews for that info, even though I preordered the game already anyway.
@Kid_Sickarus nice quote, Dr. Malcolm. Love that scene!
@EaglyTheKawaiiShika -banging on bunker door- LET ME IN!!!
@Pally356 Videogames usually hit my warehouse 7-10 days before release, but we usually don’t get the bulk of them in our network. We received around 1500 Divine last week and several hundred standard, along with thousands of the accompanying amiibo. Deliveries are generally confirmed several times and tracked systematically. Theft can happen but the pay is good and so is the camera coverage.
For comparison’s sake, we had over 12,000 various copies of scarlet/violet boxed and waiting for shipping labels a week before street, 2k-ish Ragnarok, and I never saw Elden Ring pass through.
something something emo dating over swords and tea.
Gonna go complete cynical and say its probably just spoiler alerts for more terribad unconsistent Fire Emblem writing and new pictures of newcomers that look nothing like Fire Emblem characters of the past but FatesSuperfan#289 will pretend Fire Emblem always looked like them because they have a track record of two games to go off of as reference.
@CharlieGirl Same. Despite being an FE fan, I'm a bit on the fence about this one (due to the art style, character design, and story premise), so I'm actually gonna seek out those spoilers to help me decide whether to get it now or not.
I don't mind the leaks themseleves at all since people who are on the fence like @CharlieGirl and @sinndec can check them out to decide if they're getting the game or not.
What I do mind is people putting spoilers - even worse if from leaks like in this case - in thumbnails etc. so people who want to avoid them can't.
Anyway, I'm getting Engage for sure, but I might check at least some of the leaks because I'm not particularly spoiler sensitive, in fact more often than not they make me want to play those games even more!
Tell me something else I don't know. As for me, an armored shield is what I use to protect myself from leaks on the internet ☺️.
Some people just crave that 15 minutes of seeming important sadly.
