Those with less familiarity of the Fire Emblem franchise often associate the series with sword-wielders, due the series’ many sword-swinging representatives in the Super Smash Bros. series.

The fact that gamers are still talking about this year’s E3 means developers have done something right. Ubisoft certainly turned heads with its preview of Splinter Cell: Blacklist, which was among the more notable demonstrations at the event.

It’s recently been revealed that EA is no longer the exclusive home of Star Wars video games. Not long after that announcement was made, it came out that Ubisoft would be making some kind of open-world Star Wars game.

The gaming world has been holding its breath since Valve confirmed that they’d be making three major announcements in the near future, and now, it seems the first bombshell has been dropped.
