Nintendo just announced that the latest installation of Fire Emblem, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, will be released on May 19th for the 3DS. The new game is inspired by Fire Emblem Gaiden, which was released only in Japan in 1992.

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia follows two protagonists, Alm and Celica, in a world divided by two gods, one peace-loving and one who loved war. The game promises to put a “twist” on traditional Fire Emblem combat with dungeons, free-roaming and “flexible character progression.”
