Nintendo and Intelligent Systems revealed a handful of Japanese voice actors playing Fire Emblem: Engage DLC characters. The characters were announced as part of Waves 2 and 3 of the Fire Emblem: Engage expansion pass. Many characters from previous Fire Emblem titles will have their Japanese voice roles reprised by the same actors. Wave 2 went live on February 8, 2023, with Wave 3 coming later. Wave 2 of the Fire Emblem: Engage DLC consists of Emblem Hector, Soren, and Camilla. Hector, protagonist of Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade (a.k.a. the first Fire Emblem game released in English), is the Emblem of Strength. He’s played by Kosuke Toriumi in Japanese. Toriumi also plays Robin Hood in Fate/Extra and Fate/Grand Order, Kaeya in Genshin Impact, and Yuri Lowell in Tales of Vesperia.
Soren was an officer with the Greil Mercenaries, a close friend to Ike, and a key character in
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and
Radiant Dawn. As part of the
Fire Emblem: Engage DLC he appears as the Emblem of Acumen. Soren is voiced by Ayumu Murase, who played Kage in
Ranking of Kings, Ginrou in
Dr. Stone, and recently
made headlines as the voice of Cure Wing, the first male
Pretty Cure main cast member.
Camilla, who first appeared in
Fire Emblem Fates, is a Nohrian Princess who loves to protect and dote upon her younger siblings, Corrin in particular. She joins
Fire Emblem: Engage as the Emblem of Revelation. She’s voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro, who plays Katalina in
Granblue Fantasy, Millia Maxwell in
Tales of Xillia, and notably, is the voice of female Robin and female Morgan in
Fire Emblem Awakening. Wave 3 of the
Fire Emblem: Engage DLC will add two playable Emblems: A double Emblem of Chrom and Male Robin, and Veronica. Chrom and Male Robin appear in
Engage as the Emblem of Bonds. They appear together to represent their close connection in
Fire Emblem: Awakening. Male Robin is voiced in Japanese by Yoshimasa Hosoya, who plays Belial in
Granblue Fantasy, Nicholas D. Wolfwood in
Trigun Stampede, Reiner in
Attack on Titan, and Shigure in
Fire Emblem Fates. Chrom is voiced by Tomokazu Sugita, who voiced Goetia in
Fate/Grand Order, Gintoki in
Gintama, and Kyon in
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Veronica appears in
Fire Emblem Engage as the Emblem of Heroes. True to her ability in
