Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave — Expansion Pass
The game's first post-launch add-on, released October 15, 2026. Verified facts and official sources below.
What the Expansion Pass is
The Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Expansion Pass is the first post-launch add-on content for the game. Nintendo announced and released it on October 15, 2026, accompanied by an official announcement trailer. For a title that launched September 17, 2026, this is the earliest major paid extension of the experience.
This page exists because the Expansion Pass became the single highest-rising search term for the game in mid-October 2026. Where this site previously recorded no announced add-on content, that changed on release day — so the old "no DLC announced" note on the post-game page has been corrected to point here.
Release and verification
The release was confirmed through Nintendo's official channels. We cite the official announcement rather than community leaks: the Expansion Pass went on sale October 15, 2026, and a new trailer was published the same day. Our policy is to summarize only what is verifiable and to link to Nintendo for anything still in flux.

Expansion Pass — Announcement Trailer
The official announcement trailer published by Nintendo of America on release day. This is the primary, verified source for the Expansion Pass; everything else on this page defers to it.
What the Expansion Pass includes (confirmed)
Nintendo laid out the pass's shape in the announcement trailer. It ships in three waves, and Wave 1 is available now (launched October 15, 2026). Confirmed contents so far:
- Wave 1 — new weapons & outfits: prototype weapons modeled after the hero relics from Fire Emblem: Three Houses — one weapon for each of the four main heroes — plus a new appearance-changing outfit for each hero (allies can wear the new attire too).
- New units: the gods who once ruled Dagda join the army (see our Deities of Dagda coverage).
- New story: additional content following the four rivals contending for victory in the Heroic Games.
- Availability: sold on the Nintendo eShop as paid DLC.
These points are taken directly from Nintendo's official announcement trailer, not from community speculation. Later waves add more — see below for what is still to come.

Lucky Crit's wave-by-wave read
The following is a summary of Lucky Crit's breakdown of the announcement trailer. It is the creator's analysis and interpretation, not official Nintendo information — included to help you follow the community discussion.
- He frames the pass as a large post-launch addition (his own estimate: on the order of another ~100 hours of content).
- He notes the US price is around $35 (his figure; higher than the Three Houses DLC, which he attributes to inflation). Treat this as a creator claim, not a confirmed Nintendo price.
- His read of the waves: Wave 1 (out now) is weapons + outfits; he expects Wave 2 around the holiday season (roughly a month later) to bring the first story content and the Dagda deities as playable units; Wave 3 to add story for the four sub-lords.
- He highlights the relic-prototype weapons as E-rank, forgeable, and usable by anyone in your army, with some (e.g., a Failnaught-prototype bow) gaining extended range later in the game.
What is still to come
Nintendo confirmed the pass releases in three waves, and Wave 1 (additional weapons and outfits) is available now. Waves 2 and 3 are still ahead: per the announcement, later waves add the Dagda deities as playable units and story content for the four rivals and the sub-lords. The exact release dates and full contents of those later waves are published by Nintendo on the official store page; this page is updated as each wave lands.
