Publisher Circle Entertainment announced that it will be releasing Radeon Japan's budget tactical RPG Mercenaries Saga 3 in North America next week. The game will be available to download from the Nintendo eShop on December 15, 2016, though no price has been announced at this time. Circle Entertainment released the game's precessor, Mercenaries Saga 2, in North America and Europe in 2015.

Released in October in Japan, Mercenaries Saga 3 is set on a world with two continents divided by a large ocean. The Flare Kingdom, the dominant power of the northern continent, takes over the southern continent under the guise of peacekeeping, but soon finds itself attacked by the Liberation Army. To combat its new opponents, the Flare Kingdom starts recruiting mercenaries into a special unit.
