Two Switch 2 ratings spotted
PEGI age ratings for two Nintendo Switch 2 first-party titles—Splatoon Raiders and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave—have appeared in Europe, suggesting both projects are moving toward release. (nintendolife.com) Game Rant has interpreted the ratings as an encouraging sign that development is nearing completion for both games. (gamerant.com)
Nintendo’s European store pages for Splatoon Raiders and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave now show PEGI age ratings, a routine step that usually appears late in the publishing process. (eurogamer.net) Splatoon Raiders is listed at PEGI 7, while Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is listed at PEGI 12 on Nintendo’s European pages. Eurogamer reported the ratings on April 13, 2026, after fans spotted the changes over the weekend. (eurogamer.net) Nintendo’s official Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave page in the United Kingdom says the game is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026. The listing describes it as “a brand new entry in the Fire Emblem series.” (nintendo.com) Nintendo announced Splatoon Raiders in June 2025 as the first Splatoon spinoff game and said it would launch exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2. The company’s announcement said players control a mechanic exploring the Spirhalite Islands with the Deep Cut trio. (nintendo.com) Age ratings do not set a release date, but they do mean publishers have submitted material to a ratings board for review. In Europe, the Pan European Game Information system assigns age labels such as 7 and 12 based on content descriptors. (pegi.info) That makes these updates one of the few concrete signals around Nintendo’s 2026 software calendar. Nintendo Life noted that Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is on Nintendo’s official 2026 release schedule, while Splatoon Raiders still shows no public date beyond “to be determined.” (nintendolife.com) Third-party outlets have read the change as a sign that both games are moving closer to launch, though Nintendo has not said that publicly. Game Rant said the new classifications make a near-term release look “increasingly likely,” while TheGamer said fans are treating the Fire Emblem rating as a sign that news could be close. (gamerant.com) (thegamer.com) For now, the ratings tell players less about when these games arrive than about where Nintendo is in the pipeline: both titles have moved past placeholder labels on European storefronts. Until Nintendo publishes dates, PEGI 7 and PEGI 12 are the clearest new markers on the road to release. (mynintendonews.com 1) (mynintendonews.com 2)
