Evil Byleth features in the new Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes trailer, which also introduced a new protagonist to match.

Byleth, the instructor-main character of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, also known as the Ashen Demon, is Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes' antagonist. Hence, the player will not be playing as Byleth in this new game. Instead, players will be taking control of a new character – lavender-haired Shez, who can also be male or female in this game. This follows the previous Fire Emblem Warriors game, which also introduced two new blonde-haired protagonists in the game.

In the new Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes trailer, we see Fire Emblem: Three Houses characters in their post-war appearances, some with brand-new looks as well. The game also appears to have some empire-building aspect to it, similar to the turn-based expansion strategy mechanics of Musou Empires games. We might be able to play as one of the three factions in the game in a bid to control the entire continent of Fódlan. We're not sure about this yet, though, as exact gameplay details have yet to be revealed. The map we see in the trailer could also get the same gameplay treatment as the one used in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.

Finally, towards the end of the new trailer, we saw the ability to choose between male or female Byleth, referred to only as “Ashen Demon,” which could also hint that the Ashen Demon can also be a playable character in the game.

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes will be coming out on June 24, 2022. Fire Emblem: Three Houses was one of the Nintendo Switch's best games, becoming a console seller, and was so appealing that it introduced a lot of fans to the wider Fire Emblem franchise. We can imagine that Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes will also sell well once it comes out.
