Fire Emblem Awakening to get free DLC at launch

Turn-based strategy game will receive new maps from day one

Nintendo have announced that upcoming 3DS turn-based battler, Fire Emblem Awakening will receive ‘a steady weekly stream of additional maps’ for free. That’s gratis. Nothing. For no pennies or virtual currency at all. Well, for a limited time period and then they’ll be charged at different price points after that.
