With four waves planned, Nintendo used their time at The Game Awards 2022 to confirm that their upcoming RPG Fire Emblem Engage will be receiving post-launch paid DLC. This will be available as either standalone purchase, or as part of an “Expansion Pass” for those who want to pre-order all the content and perhaps save a few bucks in the process.
The first set of downloadable content will be available immediately once the game launches on 20 January 2023. It will feature Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude from Fire Emblem: Three Houses as one in-game Emblem, as well as Tiki from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light as another Emblem. Emblems can be summoned in Fire Emblem Engage to fight alongside the main heroes, helping boost their stats and assisting them in combat.
More information on the other three waves, and the individual characters featured as part of each wave, will be made available in the weeks and months leading to their launch. However, the fourth and final wave is confirmed to feature a new story scenario.
Fire Emblem Engage is a Nintendo Switch exclusive first-party RPG, to be released worldwide starting 20 January 2023.
