Nintendo and Koei Tecmo are teaming up again to make another spinoff of the well-known Warriors series. This time the world of Fire Emblem: Three Houses joins the fray with Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, which just got a new trailer that showed more details of the game, including its protagonist and three campaigns.

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes - Mysterious Mercenary Trailer - Nintendo Switch

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes was announced iat February’s Nintendo Direct. Today’s trailer showed that players control an all-new, extra anime-like character named Shez. Just look at that purple hair covering the one eye! Shez can be made female or male as per usual with the series, just like Byleth.

The game features three campaigns much like the original Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Players can pick from the three houses, which are all sporting new names. Scarlet Blaze is led by Edelgard, Azure Gleam is led by Dimitri, and Golden Wildfire is led by Claude. Three Hopes appears to not just be a spinoff or sequel to Three Houses, but a remixed retelling of that game. Not only are players using a new main character, but Three Houses protagonist Byleth is one of Three Hopes’ main enemies, now called “The Ashen Demon.”

Three Hopes also throws in the usual Warriors fare, with team attacks, battle prep, level grinding to unlock classes, and battle planning all returning, albeit with a Fire Emblem twist. Players can explore their team’s camps and schools while interacting and training with others to rack up the experience points and unlock more attack abilities.

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes will be released for Nintendo Switch on June 24, 2022.

Does Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope have multiplayer?

Mario games are typically single-player experiences, with the main exceptions being spinoff games. Essentially all of Mario's sports games, for example, allow gamers to team up or face off with friends and family. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle was a unique take in that it put Mario and friends, plus their Rabbid counterparts, into a turn-based tactics game. Even so, despite it being very uncommon for the genre, it also included a co-op mode called the Buddy Dome.

With the sequel out and offering a brand new tactical adventure with even more Mario and Rabbid characters, worlds, and combat tactics, many are curious if any sort of multiplayer is included in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. The first game required you to complete some of the single-player to unlock these extra challenges, but is that the case here? Before you gather up your team to play Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope together, here's what you need to know about whether it has multiplayer or not.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope: best Sparks and how to get them
Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope

The title of Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope has a double meaning. On the one hand, you and your team are the "sparks of hope" against the evil Cursa, but Sparks are also a key plot and gameplay component. These cute star creatures are the Rabbid form of Lumas and are very powerful. While you will have a clear narrative reason to want to rescue as many of these cute little creatures as possible, the benefit you get for having them in battle is arguably even greater.

Up to two Sparks can be equipped to each character, have an active and passive skill, and can be leveled up. Each one is unique, and there are a ton to find in each of the worlds you will visit. The more you manage to find, the better you can equip your team. If you want to know which Sparks are the best of the bunch and where to find them, we've got you covered.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope: best skills and how to level them up
Mario shooting two blasters.

Mario is no stranger to RPGs. He's been leveling up and adventuring in turn-based worlds ever since the SNES, and yet never quite in the way we get in the two Mario + Rabbids games. While the tactical style of the gameplay is still novel and by far the most approachable game in the genre for newcomers, there is still a robust RPG leveling system under the hood as well. While the skill trees themselves won't be too intimidating on the surface, the number of different skill types, plus having them for each character, can easily get overwhelming.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope breaks down skills into four different categories: Health Skills, Movement Skills, Weapon Skills, and Technique Skills. There are a ton of skills among them, some of which only one character can get, while others can be learned by many. Having a good spread of skills among your team, and focusing your characters on skills that improve their natural abilities, will make the tougher boss fights that much easier. Here are all the best skills you should go for, plus how to level them up, in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope.
