New DLC maps coming to Fire Emblem Fates starting May 5

New maps will be available weekly through June 9

A new set of map packs will be released for Fire Emblem Fates for the Nintendo 3DS beginning May 5 and will continue weekly through June 9. The first map, "In Endless Dreams," continues the video game's sprawling story.

Even players who have purchased "In Endless Dreams" can still purchase the entire Map Pack 2 set to receive a discount when compared to buying the subsequent maps individually.

Unlike the contents of Map Pack 1, the stages included in Map Pack 2 tell an ongoing story. Nintendo describes the action: "Across dimensions, other versions of the Hoshidan and Nohrian children are under attack. Born and raised in the Deeprealms, these fledgling warriors must now rise up to save themselves and their parents as they unravel the mystery of their adversaries.

"In this six-map series, units leveled up in the main game cannot lend support. Players must devise a strategy using a fresh team to reap the rewards, but only if all units survive."

The remaining maps in the pack are: "Realms Collide," "The Changing Tide," "Light’s Sacrifice," "Endless Dawn" and "Lost in the Waves."

As a bonus, ""Another Gift from Anna, which provides players with the Boots and Paragon items, is available to download for free on May 5 for players who already own the Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright or Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest games.
