Legendary Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu is holding a 24-hour livestream on Niconico starting this Thursday, August 31st, at 7 PM JST to celebrate its 1,500th issue going on sale. Journalists, developers and voice actors will be present to talk about the magazine’s history, play games and more. The livestream will also feature upcoming games – and among those is Fire Emblem Warriors. The game’s official Twitter account has revealed that during the stream’s opening segment, new information about Fire Emblem Warriors will be revealed.

Despite the game’s Japanese release date being only one month away, there’s still quite a lot we don’t know about it. We still haven’t met any of the game’s Shadow Dragon characters other than Marth, the amiibo functionality is still unknown and the game’s Coliseum mode also hasn’t been talked about a whole lot. Either way, there’s plenty that could be revealed during the stream. If you have a Niconico account, you’ll be able to watch it live here.
