We have our first new No.1 in the UK Boxed Charts, and it is Nintendo with its turn-based strategy RPG Fire Emblem Engage. The title's launch sales are 31% lower than what its predecessor managed (2019's Fire Emblem Three Houses). The new game has a more anime-style look to the graphics, which may have limited its Western appeal slightly. Yet even so, it is still the second biggest launch for the series in the UK, ahead of cult 3DS hit Fire Emblem Awakening.
