Currently, little information is known on it. | ||

During the trailer the character [[Byleth]] is shown in what appear to be third-person exploration segments. He is seen walking outdoors near a castle and in an indoors room. The official press release mentions that during these segments the player can interact with allies to build relationships or gather information.<ref>{{Cite web| quote= As the main character, the player must not only fight on the battlefield, but also can move the character freely and interact with other characters to build relationships and gather information at some parts. | published=June 12, 2018 | retrieved = June 12, 2018| url=https://www.rpgsite.net/news/7332-fire-emblem-three-houses-revealed-for-nintendo-switch | title=Fire Emblem: Three Houses revealed for Nintendo Switch | site=rpgsite.net }}</ref> This sounds very similar to {{FE14}}{{'}}s ''[[My Castle]]'' and {{FE15}}{{'}}s village exploration segments.

Later in the trailer, Byleth is shown talking to [[Edelgard]]. It appears that Edelgard is asking Byleth what weapon she should hone her skill in during the mock battle. The two options are [[axe]]s and [[sword]]s. [[Magic (element)|Magic]] is absent, despite it being shown she has a magic command during combat elsewhere in the trailer. The exact gameplay benefits of this command are unknown, but doing this presumably provides some sort of statistical bonus to the training character, possibly an increase to their respective [[weapon level]] or equivalent stat. | Later in the trailer, Byleth is shown talking to [[Edelgard]].

Weapon [[durability]] returns as well, after its absence in {{title|Fates}} and {{title|Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}. Two new battle stats can also be seen: "End" (for endurance; Japanese: {{hover|防御|Bōgyo}} ''{{hover|defense|A different word than the regular defense stat, which is 守備}}'') and "Rsl" (for resilience; Japanese: {{hover|耐魔|Taima}} ''magic endurance''), and they are possibly the battle equivalents to defense and resistance, akin to strength/magic and attack. | ||
The 2/13/2019 Direct reveals that the player can choose which of the titular three houses to focus on teaching. Gameplay revolves around teaching the protagonists the art of war. The player can go out on missions such as bandit eradication, have their students interact with each other, and teach their students new skills and classes. A new gameplay mechanic involves "Gambits", where four characters team up to deal a powerful attack; the exact mechanics are still unknown. | |||
