Fire Emblem Fates[a] is a tactical role-playing video game for the Nintendo 3DS, developed by Intelligent Systems and Nintendo SPD and published by Nintendo. It was released in June 2015 in Japan and internationally in 2016, and was the second installment in the series to be developed for the 3DS after Fire Emblem Awakening. Unlike previous titles, Fates was released in three versions, each following a different storyline centered on the same characters: Birthright[b] and Conquest[c] as physical releases, and Revelation[d] as downloadable content.
The overarching story follows the protagonist, a customizable avatar named Corrin by default, as they are unwillingly drawn into a war between the kingdoms of Hoshido, their birthplace, and Nohr, their adopted home, and must choose which side to support. In Revelation, the Avatar rallies both sides against the true mastermind behind the war.
The following is an abridged list of characters for all three versions.
