Fire Emblem: Three Houses has finally arrived on Nintendo Switch. Just like previous installments in the series, you have the option to play the game on a couple of different difficulties, but if those aren't enough of a challenge, Nintendo will be adding an additional difficulty setting post-launch.

　　On its official Twitter account, Nintendo announced that an even more challenging difficulty mode is coming to Three Houses as part of a free update. The company hasn't announced exactly when the update is expected to be released, only noting that it will be out sometime "later this year."
