Fire Emblem Warriors' long anticipated first batch of DLC - evocatively titled 'DLC Pack #1 - Fire Emblem Fates' - will be hitting New 3DS and Switch 10 days earlier than planned on 21 December. Unfortunately, that date is only for those playing in Japan, but it does mean Fire Emblem fans in the East will get to hack and slay with new characters before the year is out.
Priced at 1,400 yen (that's about £9/$12), you'll be getting access to three new characters - including Azura, Niles and Oboro - three additional History Maps (with each one packing in fresh stories with their own myriad characters), five extra costumes to bolster your virtual wardrobe and 13 Broken-Armor models to top it all off.
There's no concrete release date just yet for Europe and the US; the first pack is due for a western outing sometime this month. The next two DLC packs are due to arrive in February and March 2018, with Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and Fire Emblem: Awakening each serving as a respective inspiration.
In the meantime, why not check out Fire Emblem Warriors' latest 1.2 update, with its Ghouls 'n Ghosts-esque changes to armour attributes.

So much more to do now.
@Zach777 What do you mean? This doesn't add much at all. Unless these maps are massive or something. Most maps can be cleared pretty quickly.
I enjoy playing FE Warriors but I'll be skipping the DLC for this one.
@Kalmaro
As a base game there’s already a lot to do if you look to 100% the game; then with these new maps coming in three waves there’s going to be at least two times as much history mode to work on. I don’t know what you think about that but there’s a lot to do here. Easily over 150 hours to fully complete.
@Kalmaro 100% completion of maps takes awhile (S rank on everything), unlike the free update map these 3 DLC maps will likely be more like the 5 on disc (Anna's Mementos to collect and a special Anna challenge when you get them all). Warriors games are in general short if you just go for base completion.
I put 50 hours into this game. It's great and I think Mario Odyssey stole its buzz. DLC however I will skip out
The next 2 packs look to be pretty exciting, but besides Azura I think this one was almost a case of day 1 DLC. Niles and Oboro have been in the game since launch just not playable.
@Grumblevolcano @Zach777 Maybe I'm just overleveled or these new maps are going to be huge. I'm clearing the history maps with s ranks quickly. Working on the harder parts of them now but so far they aren't too difficult.
Maybe I should use my weaker units.
Man, I'm just happy that we are getting some lancers who aren't pegasus knights.
@Bentheblaze2390 But they may change the move set since Niles uses the same as Takumi/Sakura and Oboro the generic lancer.
So I hope that, as paid dlc, they at least put some effort into the moveset.
Also if Oboro/Azura moveset are the same, I'll be very disappointed
I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade but who really cares to have Lucina in a wedding dress on a battlefield? Looks like wasted fluff outside of new playable characters.
@Kalmaro You're overleveled?
Then you had a lot to do in the game already.
Is that Lucina in a dress? I don't think Lucina would wear dresses
Guess I still got time to level all my characters to at least 70 before the dlc and possible update hits. I learned my lesson with Hyrule Warriors with the new characters and increase lvl cap, start sooner not later.
This game is on its way to dethroning ARMS as my second most-played game (BoTW won’t likely be outdone at 150 hours). There is so much to do in Fire Emblem Warriors and the DLC will only make it more overwhelming.
@PtM Oddly enough, that costume isn’t even from the upcoming pack. And I was wrong, actually. There are two female characters (I forgot Oboro was a woman), though Oboro isn’t exactly intended to be waifu material.
@Grumblevolcano Ahh, can't say "on disc" anymore. Carts all the way! XD
@Dezzy Bridal Dress, so all the fanboys can dream of their wedding day with her.
Still need the BOTW Pass, which will serve as a stocking filler this Xmas.
@GC-161 More like Tiki is just fun and wins basically every fight so she's super high leveled. That and Takumi is amazing.
@Kalmaro Takumi is just OP
@GC-161 He really is, I'd feel bad for using him if he weren't so fun. I just got Anna too and she's just hilarious.
Since my order of Xenoblade got delayed, I picked this game back up over the weekend and have been enjoying it again. Not finished with it of course, but I have a bad habit of not finishing Warriors games.
@Kalmaro
So you have underleveled characters? Now I don’t see why you are complaining at all. You have more than enough to still do. What about all perks?
@Zach777 What about them? I'm talking about the new content not being much because they only add 3 history maps and those don't take long to finish.
And there's really only 5 perks that are almost absolutely essential
