Downloadable content in Fire Emblem Awakening

This is a list and summary of bonus chapters and downloadable content (colloquially abbreviated as DLC) available in Fire Emblem Awakening before it became unavailable for purchase after the closure of the Nintendo eShop.

Overview

Anna administers the Outrealm Gate.

From Chapter 4 onward, the player can travel to the Outrealm Gate, located on an island to the continent's south; the Gate is a connection to the Outrealms, a series of alternate worlds in which the spirits of legendary heroes from other places and times, the Einherjar, dwell and interact. At the Gate, the player could access the options to purchase downloadable content from an online store, then play it. The downloadable content takes the form of individual chapters of varying difficulty, with some of them involving cameo appearances of characters from earlier Fire Emblem series titles. These chapters can be replayed any number of times for experience and rewards (save for those rewards that are one-time only).

Upon completion or fulfillment of extra criteria in many of the chapters, the player finds or is given an Einherjar card imbued with the spirit of a prominent character from a previous game in the Fire Emblem series, with which they may recruit that character as a bonus unit. With the sole exception of Eldigan in Infinite Regalia, who retains his old Genealogy of the Holy War artwork, all DLC bonus units feature a visual redesign in new artwork by a guest artist.

In the Japanese version, the DLC episodes were divided into two series: "Outrealm Talismans", primarily dealing with Chrom's battles with rogue Einherjar, and "Path of a Grandmaster", a diverse range of extremely challenging maps, adventures in a bad Grima-ruled future similar to that of Lucina's origin, and a set of recreational maps devoted to character interactions. This series distinction does not appear to exist in the English releases of the DLC, and in Europe's case, the Scramble Pack DLC (Series 2 by Japanese standards) was actually among the first DLC released in the region. For the sake of organization, this page retains the Japanese division.

As of March 27th, 2023, all DLC for the 3DS games, including Awakening, has been rendered unpurchasable due to the closure of the Nintendo eShop.

DLC packs

Exclusive to the US and European releases of the game, DLC packs contained all episodes of a DLC miniseries in a single discounted package. Typically available from the release of the first DLC chapter in the pack, it allowed all three to be purchased at once, however the others were not playable until the episodes were released individually; attempting to access them before then would prompt Anna to instruct the player to "come back when it's released!"

Trivia

• Awakening was the first game for the Nintendo 3DS to offer paid downloadable content.
  • Because of the ten-month-long delay between the Japanese and English releases of Awakening, the first game to offer paid downloadable content in regions outside of Japan was New Super Mario Bros. 2 instead.
• The Smash Brethren DLC series is named in English as a nod to the Super Smash Bros. game series, as both Roy and Ike – the two warring leaders of their worlds in the DLC's plot – had been playable in Super Smash Bros..
