Today, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia launched in Japan and, thanks to renowned data-miner @SciresM, we have a better idea of what to expect from the forthcoming DLC.
The first series of DLC (three maps from the “Fighter’s Journey” set) launched at the same time as the game, but we know from the Japanese official site that there are three more series of DLC planned.
Continue reading to see what else we know…
Series 2
These maps are designed for mid/late-game grinding and seem to be souped up versions of the Series 1 maps.
| Icon | Name | Notes/Comments |
|---|---|---|
 |
Temple of Stars ~Inner Sanctum~ | Perhaps offers a higher rate of obtaining Star Fragments |
 |
Golden Dream | Possibly allows you to farm rare Golden Marks, used for forging |
 |
Funeral of Fury | Maybe features stronger Entombed for quicker experience gain |
Series 3
The first ten maps are meant to enhance your characters, apparently by providing access to brand new classes. The final four maps are story maps that occur before the beginning of the game, focusing on the Deliverance.
| Icon | Name | Notes/Comments |
|---|---|---|
 |
Altar of the Lance Knight | Provides access to the Cavalier’s Over-class |
 |
Altar of the Shielded Giant | Provides access to the Soldier’s Over-class |
 |
Altar of the Black Crane | Provides access to the Pegasus Knight’s Over-class |
 |
Altar of the Shadowy Maiden | Provides access to the female Mage’s Over-class |
 |
Altar of the Virtuous Enchantress | Provides access to the Cleric’s Over-class |
 |
Altar of the Fearsome Warlord | Provides access to the Mercenary’s Over-class |
 |
Altar of the War Elephant | Provides access to the Archer’s Over-class |
 |
Altar of the Scholarly Sage | Provides access to the male Mage’s Over-class |
 |
Altar of the Noble Queen | Provides access to Celica’s Over-class |
 |
Altar of the Grand Conqueror | Provides access to Alm’s Over-class |
 |
Battle of Zofia Port | The first prologue map; seems to focus on Fernand, who’s not playable during the story |
 |
South Fort Rescue Mission | The second prologue map; seems to feature Lukas in the spotlight |
 |
Escaping the Underground Ruins | The third prologue map; the lovable Clair appears to be the central focus |
 |
Defence of Zofia Castle | The fourth and final prologue map; good luck, Clive, you’ll be needing it… |
Series 4
Two additional content disconnected from the other three series, related to the currently Japanese-only Cipher card game.
| Icon | Name | Notes/Comments |
|---|---|---|
 |
The Lost Girl and the Vagabond | Seems to be hinting at playable Ema and Lando |
 |
The Dark Saint and the Swordswoman | Seems to be hinting at playable Shade and Yuzu |
Miscellaneous
Note: “Pending” is likely referring to an indefinite state, as in the listed DLCs are not being released anymore. Evidenced by the missing icons and names this far in development.
| Icon | Name | Notes/Comments |
|---|---|---|
|
Starter Deck Purchase Gift | A bonus gift for purchasing the Series 9 starter deck? |
 |
Goddess’s Gift 2 – 5 | Looks like we’ll be getting 5 free DLCs in total |
 |
Pending: Prologue 5 | Appears to be a cut 5th prologue map |
|
Pending: Cipher Character 3 + 4 | It seems like there were plans to have the 4 Cipher mascots divided between 4 DLCs, rather than 2 |
|
Pending: Cipher Collaboration 2 + 3 | Likewise, there may have been additional gifts for buying Cipher products, like the Series 9 booster box |
