REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Starting May 5, Fire Emblem Fates is getting new DLC maps that expand on the hit Nintendo 3DS game’s sprawling story and characters. The first map, I: In Endless Dreams, can be downloaded for only 49 cents, with subsequent maps launching weekly until June 9 and available for $1.99 each. Fans that want to automatically receive each new map as it releases can do so by purchasing Map Pack 2 for $7.99. Map Pack 2 content is priced at more than $10 when purchased individually. Even players who have purchased I: In Endless Dreams can still purchase Map Pack 2 to receive a discount when compared to buying the subsequent maps individually.

Unlike the contents of Map Pack 1, the stages included in Map Pack 2 tell an ongoing story. Across dimensions, other versions of the Hoshidan and Nohrian children are under attack. Born and raised in the Deeprealms, these fledgling warriors must now rise up to save themselves and their parents as they unravel the mystery of their adversaries. In this six-map series, units leveled up in the main game cannot lend support. Players must devise a strategy using a fresh team to reap the rewards, but only if all units survive. More information is available at http://fireemblemfates.nintendo.com/dlc/#mappack2.

The list of maps and their respective release dates and prices are as follows:

May 5-June 9 – Map Pack 2 ($7.99)
May 5 – I: In Endless Dreams (49 cents)
May 12 – II: Realms Collide ($1.99)
May 19 – III: The Changing Tide ($1.99)
May 26 – IV: Light’s Sacrifice ($1.99)
June 2 – V: Endless Dawn ($1.99)
June 9 – End: Lost in the Waves ($1.99)

As a bonus, Another Gift from Anna, which provides players with the Boots and Paragon items, is available to download for free on May 5 for players who already own the Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright or Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest games.

Fire Emblem Fates, acclaimed by both critics and audiences, finds players battling on a variety of maps using a memorable cast of characters, each with different abilities. In addition to the extra DLC maps, three full separate games that offer different perspectives on the adventure are available to play through: Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright, Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest and, most recently, Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation, which is available to purchase at the beginning of Chapter 6 from the in-game shop in either Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright or Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest.

DLC is priced so badly for these games. I usually just watch someone play through them on YouTube. Already sunk enough cash on the special edition.

 

[DecoReturns]

I still haven't even started revelations...or finish birthright

Oh it's children characters...never mind I'm not buying that, only used Kana in my games since when I beat conquest only Corrin manage to get a s support.

 

[jon bones]

nah, i'm good on all this

dlc for mario golf, kart & hyrule warriors are dope deals... fire emblem notsomuch

 

[ryseing]

I still haven't even started revelations...or finish birthright

Same. Something about Fates just burned me out. I guess there can be too much of a good thing.

 

[Griss]

Never liked the pricing on Awakening DLC. Imagine I'll feel the same way here.

Neither has europe.

I started playing Valkyria chronicles on my PS3 with my little time for gaming. Got hooked haha

Yes.

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

I wish revelations was the only path I played...I got burned out too. All the paths feel too samey. Even so, I'll probably play this DLC

 

[sense]

hope everything is out by the end of the year. i plan to pick up a new 3ds after the rumored price cut just for this game.

 

[Busaiku]

Yeah, I haven't run shed Revelation, but I've had a lack of motivation to do the last stretch after getting all the children and promoting them.
All 3 together is too big for its own good.

 

[-Horizon-]

Man, I need to get on this.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Oh it's starring those shitty kids

No thanks

 

[Jameson]

8$ isn't bad for the season pass.

 

[Lunar15]

I'm so fucking burnt out on this game, there's way too much content in the main game as is.

 

[Draxal]

I skipped Birthright and Conquest in the American release for a reason. I don't mind incremental dlc, but three playthroughs is too much.

We're still missing the two/three (I forget how many tbh) scramble dlcs, but they're gigantic walls of text dlc.

 

[DontBlink]

Is the DLC still tied to the console like in Awakening?

 

[ChaosAngel]

I'm wishing I didn't play each campaign twice each (hard / lunatic runs). I feel like it'll be a while before I pick up the game again. I'm glad they're doing the DLC though, I'm sure I'll enjoy it once I get back into Fates.

 

[WrenchNinja]

They need to drop the price of the map packs, 30 cdn for 18 maps is a load of bullshit compared to the campaigns being 26 cdn for 22 maps

 

[M-PG71C]

I just finished all three paths so...yeah. I think I'll buy this shit too! I can never get enough FE, I'm a junkie. Even if it is shitty kids, why not.

 

[CSX]

Guess we waiting even longer for the festival DLC

 

[Zaventem]

Agree with the complaints the dlc really isn't all that but i still buy it because i like to have everything. I would pay the same cash for a proper expansion. FEA had $50 in dlc and most of it was garbage. seems they're following the same path here.

 

[Clov]

Can't wait to grab these! Hope that the festival DLC will follow soon after.

 

[Semajer]

I wonder if there will be a new set of DLC once the European version is out.

 

[OmegaFax]

Guess we waiting even longer for the festival DLC

If they even bother localizing it at all? I was looking at the Japanese DLC descriptions here. Seems like it would have been part of this upcoming map pack series. Maybe it's a holdout until Europe gets the game.

 

[Kurtofan]

we still won't have the game by then fucking hell.

 

[The Boat]

Those prices seem pretty sensible, don't see what the problem is.

 

[rhandino]

Fans that want to automatically receive each new map as it releases can do so by purchasing Map Pack 2 for $7.99.

FUCK YEAH!

 

[Draxal]

There's ALOOOOT of text, it's going to take more time than this to release it over here.

 

[Zaventem]

Also i feel like a 3rd map pack might be on the way? we didn't get any 5 star maps.
