Two unannounced Nintendo Switch 2 games from Nintendo — Splatoon Raiders and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave — now appear to have final European age ratings. (eurogamer.net) Nintendo Life reported on April 12 that the ratings were spotted on Nintendo’s European webpages, with Splatoon Raiders listed at PEGI 7 and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave updated from a provisional rating to PEGI 12. (nintendolife.com) PEGI, short for Pan European Game Information, is Europe’s age-rating system for games. Its public guidance says PEGI 7 covers mild or non-detailed violence, while PEGI 12 can include violence in fantasy settings or non-realistic violence toward human-like characters. (pegi.info 1) (pegi.info 2) Those classifications matter because publishers usually need final ratings in place before store pages, marketing beats, and release-date announcements are fully locked. Nintendo has not announced dates for either game beyond broad windows. (nintendo.com 1) (nintendo.com 2) Nintendo’s own pages currently list Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave for 2026, while Splatoon Raiders still carries a “TBD” release date. Nintendo’s published release schedule also shows Fire Emblem in its 2026 lineup. (nintendo.com 1) (nintendo.com 2) The two projects sit in different parts of Nintendo’s first-party catalog. Splatoon Raiders is billed as the first Splatoon spinoff, with players controlling a mechanic on the Spirhalite Islands alongside Deep Cut. (nintendo.com) (splatoon.nintendo.com) Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is the next mainline Fire Emblem and Nintendo has described it as a turn-based tactical role-playing game set around the “Heroic Games.” The company first announced it in September 2025 with a 2026 launch target. (nintendo.com) (nintendo.com) Third-party outlets including Eurogamer and Final Weapon framed the new PEGI entries as a sign that updates could be close, though Nintendo itself has not said a Direct presentation or release-date reveal is imminent. (eurogamer.net) (finalweapon.net) For now, the ratings do not confirm launch days. They do show that two of Nintendo’s bigger Switch 2 exclusives have moved one step closer to the point where Nintendo usually starts talking specifics. (nintendolife.com) (eurogamer.net)
