Fire Emblem Fates, across two retail editions and a third campaign as DLC, is set to offer a lot of content – for a combined $80 or so for the full story, admittedly. Beyond that it’s following the lead of Fire Emblem: Awakening in offering plenty of DLC maps; these will provide fan service and useful rewards such as gold, buffs and items.
Nintendo of America has now updated its website with full details of Map Pack 1, which will include 11 maps and another bonus at a cost of $17.99; the maps can also be bought individually. The official website breaks them down fully with some pretty screenshots, and we’ve summarized the high-level information below.

- A Gift From Anna – If you select “A Gift from Anna” from the “Play DLC” section of the Dragon’s Gate after downloading, you may select and receive either the Sighting Lens OR the Witch’s Mark. Only playable once. (14th April, free)
- Witches’ Trial – A trial ground using the stage Fear Mountain from Fire Emblem Gaiden.(21st April, $1.99 / CA$2.49)
Buying each map separately will come to $24.90 in the US, so the pack (at $17.99) certainly makes sense for those keen to play all of the extra content.
