If you were one of the lucky people that were able to snag your copy of Fire Emblem: Awakening on launch day then you’ve got a nice surprise waiting for you. Nintendo has announced that the first batch of DLC is available for the game through the Outrealm Gate, which is the game’s hub for all things DLC. The first playable map available is called Champions of Yore 1 and is available to download for free through March 5th. It features fan favorites like Ike and Marth (popular through Nintendo’s Smash Bros. series), as well as other characters like Eirika from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. You have to complete the fifth chapter of the game to access the DLC and you should have your party leveled up to around level 7 before attempting to play it.

More DLC will be available each week for the first two months of the game’s life. If you’ve had the chance to play the game let us know what you think of it. Did you run into any of the shipping problems with the game? Did you get it straight from the eShop? I’m about 4 hours into the game for review and my early impression is that this game is going to be something special.
