NIntendo is going all in on the latest and greatest Fire Emblem installment for the Nintendo 3DS. As announced this morning, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia is getting not one, not three, but five major DLC packs, at and post-launch, and a Season Pass of course that wraps it all up into one bundle.
The Season Pass will set fans back nearly $45 and will contain 22 pieces of content including the Fledgling Warriors Pack, Undaunted Heroes Pack, Lost Altars Pack, Rise of the Deliverance Pack and an unnamed 5th part. Across all the expansions, there will be new items, maps, characters, dungeons, new story content and more. That’s some serious support for what we assume is a pretty big game already. Fans can purchase the DLC a la carte, with prices ranging from $5.99 to $14.99.
Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia and the Season Pass is set to launch on May 19th, 2017 for the Nintendo 3DS. See some screens of the new content and the announcement with more details below.
Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia DLC screens:
The upcoming Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia game, which launches exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems on May 19, is a massive game filled to the brim with content. For players who want to extend their adventure even further, five major DLC packs are coming to the game starting on May 19, adding more maps, dungeons, characters and items.
- Season Pass (May 19, $44.99, 22 pieces of content): The Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia Season Pass includes all five DLC packs as they release. By purchasing the Season Pass, fans who want to receive all DLC will save more than 30 percent compared to purchasing all 22 pieces of content on their own.
- DLC Pack #1 ? Fledgling Warriors Pack (May 19, $7.99, three pieces of content): Ideal for early- to mid-game adventurers, this pack includes a new dungeon (The Astral Temple) and two new maps, great for gaining more items, money and experience points.
- DLC Pack #2 ? Undaunted Heroes Pack (May 25, $9.99, three pieces of content): In addition to a new dungeon (The Inner Sanctum), this pack also includes two challenging new maps that stronger, more seasoned heroes will want to tackle.
- DLC Pack #3 ? Lost Altars Pack (May 25, $14.99, 10 pieces of content): The mysterious dungeons included in this pack hold the power to upgrade characters to exclusive classes that don?t appear in the main game.
- DLC Pack #4 ? Rise of the Deliverance Pack (June 1, $12.99, four pieces of content): Discover the previously untold history of Valentia in this Prologue pack. Complete with new story content and additional voice acting that details the rise of the Deliverance in Zofia, this collection of challenging maps includes new support conversations between selected heroes, as well as the ability to take command of a character players won?t be able to control in the main game.
- DLC Pack #5 ($5.99, two pieces of content): More information about this final DLC pack will be revealed in the future.
All of these packs, as well as the individual components included in each pack, can be purchased separately, giving players the flexibility to buy as many or as few as they want.
While Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia features all this great paid DLC, free downloadable content will also be released for the game after launch for a limited time, starting on May 19.
