    An underground area was originally planned for Fire Emblem: Three Houses but was scrapped, later returned for Cindered Shadows

    In the recent issue of Nintendo Dream, Intelligent Systems director Toshiyuki Kusakihara revealed that an underground area was originally planned for Fire Emblem: Three Houses. However, the idea was scrapped and later returned for the Cindered Shadows DLC. The underground area in Cindered Shadows is called Abyss, home to the Ashen Wolf House. Here’s the official excerpt courtesy of Nintendo Everything:

    “We started the actual production of the side story’s content much later, but we had wanted to incorporate the idea of Garreg Mach having this underground labyrinth since the early stages of development. It ended up being cut due to the sheer amount of content, though. When planning the DLC, the side story actually came from a desire to bring back the concepts we had originally omitted. It wasn’t necessarily that we were retrofitting the information. Rather, we were expanding upon the setting and some foreshadowed elements that had been there since production of the main game. The protagonist’s mother, for instance, would fall into that category.”

    Lastly, Fire Emblem: Three Houses and the Cindered Shadows DLC are out now on Switch. Stay tuned at Final Weapon for the latest Japanese gaming news!
