Update: As some of you on Twitter have pointed out, you can also see Male Corrin in the bottom right. Thanks for the heads-up!

Original: The next playable character in Fire Emblem Warriors has been revealed via Famitsu, and it’s the final one of the royal siblings from Fire Emblem Fates, Sakura. Her main weapon is a bow, which she could use in Fates if she promoted into a Priestess.

We only have a small preview image of the Famitsu article at the moment, so there aren’t a whole lot of details. Stay tuned for tomorrow, which is when we’ll get our hands on the full issue of Famitsu.

The latest issue of Famitsu has announced a new rhythm game coming to Switch: Garu Metal. Combining elements of both music and adventure games, it’s described as “sci-fi, yet juveline” and features “hardcore metal” high school girls”.

Further details are sparse at the moment, but the staff involved in this are worth mentioning. The game’s scenario and supervision comes from Shuuhou Inai, who previously worked on the Tokyo Majin Gakuen series and Mato Kurenai Yuugekitai. The character design is being done by Toshinao Aoki, who has worked on some anime projects like the recent Kimi no Koe wa Todoketai and also did illustrations for some Pokemon TCG cards in the past. The game’s executive producer is the legendary Tak Fujii, who we haven’t heard a whole lot from ever since he left Konami in 2014.

The game will be on display at Tokyo Game Show this year, so expect further details then.
