In Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, fans can team up with one another in local multiplayer to overcome the various obstacles throughout the hack and slash game's story. Every mission in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is filled with developing primary and secondary objectives that can interrupt the flow of the game as players routinely pause to assign one of the AI a new task. However, thanks to the ability to play local multiplayer, fans can effectively communicate with one another as they tackle the challenges that continuously stack up throughout each mission.
Player two can join the battle alongside Shez in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes through multiplayer split-screen only, rather than connecting to an online server or another Nintendo Switch. This type of co-op is perfect for any pair of players to hop in and out of the combat without having to worry about maintaining a connection, and it is further simplified by not requiring more than one person to own the console and game in the first place. With multiple characters available during each mission in the game, fans have the opportunity to build and craft a variety of classes as they play through Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes together.
Despite the fact that there are multiple characters in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes that can be played as early on in the prologue, split-screen co-op multiplayer isn't available in the game until players reach chapter four. By this point, Shez will have already decided to follow a specific house after attending the Officers Academy for a brief time. Fans that are looking to beat the whole game together should consult one another before choosing a house to join because that decision will impact the rest of the story in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes.
After reaching chapter four, the split-screen co-op mode can be activated in Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes by accessing the battle preparation screen and looking for a message that says "P2 Can Join!" in the top right-hand corner. At this point, a second controller can be connected to the game, and player two can select any character in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes to play as so long as they're part of that mission. However, players should know that not every mission has co-op available - but most do.
The split-screen co-op experience will divide the screen horizontally. Player one will remain on the top screen, while player two will have the bottom half of the screen. Additionally, in-game dialogue and messages will still appear across the bottom of player one's screen.
Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is now available for the Nintendo Switch.
