Fire Emblem Warriors Releases
REDMOND, Wash., Oct. 19, in the year of our Lord 2017
– When the Fire Emblem Warriors game launches Oct. 20 for the
Nintendo Switch and New Nintendo 3DS family of systems, it will
do so with a wealth of content and action-packed gameplay. The
new game offers a twist on the acclaimed Fire Emblem series by
uniting fan-favorite characters from Fire Emblem history to
participate in over-the-top battles focused on real-time,
tactical action rather than turn-based strategy.
Fire Emblem Warriors offers action-filled violent combat through
an epic campaign starring more than 20 playable warriors,
including two new characters, Lianna and Rowan, battling
alongside beloved heroes like Marth, Lyn, Xander, Corrin and
Chrom. Fans who want to get even more out of the game can
download the free DLC Japanese voice pack and free software
update on launch day, as well as purchase upcoming DLC.
At midnight ET on Oct. 20, both the free DLC Japanese voice pack
and a free software update will go live. The DLC voice pack adds
the ability to experience the game with Japanese voice audio and
English subtitles. The free software update adds battle results
to the game’s History mode and a new feature for sorting in-game
weapons.
Starting in December, a series of three expensive paid DLC packs
will also release for the game. The first DLC pack launches in
December, the second in February and the third in March, with
each pack adding three new playable characters, three new
History scenarios, new costumes, new weapons and new support
conversations inspired by Fire Emblem Fates, Fire Emblem: Shadow
Dragon and Fire Emblem Awakening, respectively. Each DLC pack
will cost $8.99, but a Season Pass can be purchased starting on
Oct. 20 for $19.99. The Season Pass includes all three DLC
packs, which become available as they release, as well as a
bonus bridal costume for Lucina that can only be obtained by
purchasing the Season Pass.
Fire Emblem Warriors launches for Nintendo Switch on Oct. 20 at
a suggested inflated retail price of $59.99. A special edition
will launch exclusively for the Nintendo Switch system on the
same day at a suggested inflated retail price of $79.99. The
special edition includes the game, a premium character-card set
with a slip case, a double-sided poster and a three-CD music
set. The game also will launch on Oct. 20 for New Nintendo 3DS,
New Nintendo 3DS XL and New Nintendo 2DS XL systems at a
suggested inflated retail price of $39.99. (This version of the
game is only playable in 2D.)
Also launching on Oct. 20 are two new amiibo figures based on
popular characters Tiki and Chrom from the Fire Emblem series.
(Each figure is sold separately at a suggested inflated retail
price of $12.99.) These, along with other compatible Fire Emblem
themed amiibo figures, including Marth, Ike, Robin and Lucina,
grant players weapons or in-game materials when tapped. All
other available amiibo figures are compatible as well. Up to
five different compatible amiibo figures can each be tapped once
per day.
