‘Fire Emblem: Three Houses’ Introduces The Black Eagles… And An Expansion Pass

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is already loaded with hours of content if the Nintendo Treehouse presentation at E3 is anything to go by. Yet somehow, it’s looking like we’re about to get much more courtesy of a nearly year long expansion pass.

Nintendo has announced that the upcoming game in their storied strategy RPG series will receive four batches of DLC between its July 26 release date through April 2020. Promising new maps, costumes and playable characters, specific details were few. Past games have brought in protagonists from past games, enemies and NPC’s that wouldn’t be usable otherwise, as well as a combination of challenge maps and easy maps meant for easy leveling for your units. The idea of playing as Marth, Celica Lyn or Ike with the new Switch graphics engine sounds incredible, so I’m hoping this trend continues.

For anyone who pre-purchases or purchases the expansion pass, these players will unlock a special costume for both the male and female versions of Byleth, the main character of the game. As professors at the Officer’s Academy, this formal wear helps the leads blend into such a formal role.

If you’re having trouble on deciding which house you’ll ultimately align with, the Black Eagles have also received an introduction video presenting their school of nobles and mages. Led by the future emperor of the Adrestian Empire, Edelgard, classmates such as the cool headed Hubert, the foreign student, Petra and the lazy crest researcher Linhardt round out some of the units we’ll be introduced to. Check out their introductions in the trailer below.

Which house calls your name at this point? And what are you hoping we’ll see in the Expansion Pass? Let us know in the comments!
