Here’s How Fire Emblem Engage’s Fishing and Exercising Look

Nintendo shared new info about fishing and exercising in the upcoming Fire Emblem Engage. Protagonist Alear can enjoy these two mechanics while in Somniel. The fishing minigame makes a return from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Exercising allows Alear to temporarily raise their stats.

The official Fire Emblem Japanese Twitter account shared a couple of short clips on new activities that players will be able to enjoy in Somniel, the main hub of Fire Emblem Engage. The first one focuses on the fishing minigame, which seems to work slightly different from its previous iteration. This time, players will have to pull the L stick and follow the prompts on screen to reduce the fish’s resistance and catch it.

The second clip focuses on exercising, a new minigame in Fire Emblem Engage. Through exercising, the player can raise Alear’s stats through three different physical activities. Stats increases will vary depending on player performance, with them being higher if done perfectly.

Nintendo previously detailed other elements and activities that players can realize in Somniel. One of these activities involves Sommie, the mascot of the game and Somniel’s guardian.

Fire Emblem Engage is coming out for the Nintendo Switch on January 20, 2023. It is available to pre-order in the Nintendo eShop.
