At The Game Awards 2019, which category did Fire Emblem: Three Houses win?

At The Game Awards 2019, Fire Emblem: Three Houses won Best Strategy Game.

The award recognized the game’s tactical, turn-based battles, which combine grid-based unit movement with terrain, weapon advantages, battalions, abilities, and permanent-death options depending on the selected mode. Three Houses also broadened the series formula with a school calendar, teaching systems, social relationships, and multiple story routes.

The award was part of a major reception for the 2019 release. Three Houses was praised for its character writing, political setting, soundtrack, replay value, and the way its monastery sections connected personal relationships to battlefield performance. It was also nominated in other categories, but Best Strategy Game is the category it won at The Game Awards.

The distractors describe awards or nominations that are easy to mix up. Game of the Year and Best Art Direction were separate categories, while Best Narrative was not the winning category for Three Houses at that event. The game also won the Player’s Voice award, which is distinct from the jury-selected Best Strategy Game award.
