Fire Emblem Fates DLC starts dropping May 5th

Starting May 5, Fire Emblem Fates will be getting new DLC maps that will expand the game’s massive lore, including characters and story.  

The first map, titled I: In Endless Dreams, will be available for download for 49 cents when the DLC launches. Subsequent maps will be released weekly up until June 9, and will be available for $1.99 each. Additionally, you can buy the Map Pack 2 package for $7.99 if you wish to automatically receive each new map as they are released.

Unlike Map Pack 1, the first round of DLC for Fire Emblem Fates, the content included in Map Pack 2 will tell an ongoing tale spanning multiple alternate dimensions. My Nintendo News goes into more detail regarding the upcoming 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.

The list of maps along with 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)
