Fire Emblem Engage[a] is a tactical role-playing game developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. The seventeenth installment in the Fire Emblem series, it was released worldwide on January 20, 2023.[1] The game follows Alear, a dragon in human form who awakens from a thousand-year slumber, and is soon attacked by the Kingdom of Elusia, who worship the Fell Dragon Sombron, and his Corrupted undead forces, which seek to destroy the continent of Elyos. A significant change from previous installments is the introduction of the Engage system, which allows characters to equip magic rings imbued with copies of past Fire Emblem lords, becoming temporarily empowered with their abilities.

While Fire Emblem Engage received generally positive reviews from critics, it was not as well-received as its predecessor, Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Its gameplay innovations, score, and visuals were praised, but reviewers felt that its story, characters and worldbuilding were lackluster and unmemorable in comparison. Its social sim elements were also compared unfavorably due to their emphasis on solo activities. The game received a DLC side story, or "Xenologue", on April 4, 2023, as part of its season pass, taking place in a parallel universe in which Alear had already perished fighting Sombron.=
