Fire Emblem Fates’ release date is Feb. 19 but fans have wondered when the third installment of the Fates series, Fire Emblem Revelation , will arrive.
Nintendo has officially announced all of the Fire Emblem Fates details including when Revelation will be available as well as the DLC schedule. But to sweeten the pot even more, Nintendo is releasing a brand new Fire Emblem Fates 3DS XL.
“Fans of role-playing games have just received a boost to their excitement stat,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing in a release. “Nintendo platforms have always been home to high-quality RPGs, and with even more games launching in 2016, this trend is set to continue in a big way.”
The Fire Emblem Fates 3DS XL will be released on Feb. 19 and features some pretty awesome art inspired by the game. However, Fire Emblem Fates won’t be available in a bundle and will have to be sold separately.
In addition, a third story, Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation , which finds the game’s main character choosing neither the “Conquest” nor “Birthright” path in the story, launches as DLC on March 10 for $19.99 for players that already own the “Conquest” or “Birthright” version of the game.
A special edition will also be available that includes all three Fire Emblem games on a single game card, an artbook and a Nintendo 3DS XL pouch at a suggested retail price of $79.99.
With Fire Emblem Fates already released in Japan, fans may already know about the DLC maps that will be available post-launch. Well, Nintendo has revealed its plans for the Fire Emblem DLC maps. New maps will be released on a regular basis, with the first map launching on Feb. 19. Players can choose to buy each of these maps individually, or purchase Map Pack 1 for $17.99 to get access to them all at a discount once they are released.
