Fire Emblem Fates will get weekly DLC starting February 19

Ah, I see you've been diagnosed with "Fire Emblemitis," a serious condition characterized by intense longing for anything and everything Fire Emblem. Fear not. Come February 19, you'll be able to purchase the new Fire Emblem Fates games and keep yourself sated with weekly doses of DLC. A total of 13 pieces of DLC will be released, one each week, until April 21.

While most of these additions will be maps on which to lead your armies in strategic RPG tactical battle, there also appears to be an extra-difficult battle royale to overcome and a new party member to recruit. The most important DLC of all, however, might be Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation. As we previously explained, there are two retail versions of Fire Emblem Fates - and if you're wondering which one to get, you should definitely click that link.

Each version tells the story from a different point of view, with Revelation offering yet another perspective. Unlike its full-priced, storebound brethren however, Revelation is a download-only add-on that will sell for $20.

I've listed the planned DLC packs below in order of release, along with a short description from the official site:

February 19: Before Awakening. Beyond the gate to another world lies the Halidom of Ylisse.
February 25: Boo Camp. It is said that there is another world where one can get plenty of experience…
