Unit attributes
Crests
- Main article:
Crests (Three Houses)
Crests are a new unit attribute introduced in the game. Based on what has been revealed about them so far they are alike to Holy Blood. Several characters in the game, descended from historic heroes, possess crests that grant them particular abilities during combat.
Stats
Characters possess the standard set of stats the Fire Emblem series is known for. Attack speed can be seen in the trailer, but it is as of yet unknown if weight returns, though the AS being zero suggests that it does.
Two new battle stats can also be seen: "Prt" (presumably for protection; Japanese: 防御 defense) and "Rsl" (presumably for resilience; Japanese: 耐魔 magic endurance), and they are possibly the battle equivalents to defense and resistance, akin to strength/magic and attack. There is also a new stat labeled "Cha" (presumably for charisma or charm; Japanese: 魅力 charm).
Classess
Many characters start in the mechanically identical Commoner or Noble classes and may change classes upon reaching level 5; doing so does not reset the character's level. In order to take an examination, the character must spend an exam pass; passing is based on a percentage chance, which can be increased through their abilities. Characters can freely reclass between any class they have unlocked. Any class can use any weapon, but certain classes specialize in certain weapons. Characters have affinity towards and against certain classes.

During the weekends, when the player is not teaching, the player may freely walk around the grounds to speak with students, give advice, plan meals, or partake in battles.

On the last weekend of every month there is a mandatory battle serving as the ending of the chapter and progression to the next.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses pre-release information
The game was initially announced early in 2017 on January 18th in the Fire Emblem Nintendo Direct. At the time it was announced without subtitle and was only presented with the broad release date of "2018". Nothing of the game was shown during its initial announcing except for a generic Fire Emblem logo. No further details were given on the game for over a year until a reveal trailer aired at Nintendo's 2018 E3 showing on June 12th. During the reveal trailer they revealed that the game would release in Spring 2019, marking a delay from its initial 2018 release window.
After another lengthy absence the game resurfaced again in February 2019 during Nintendo's Nintendo Direct presentation and received a story trailer and confirmed release date of July 26, 2019, marking another, though much smaller, delay, from spring 2019 to early summer 2019.
