Get ready to have more customizable "Fire Emblem Warriors." Nintendo has announced that there will be a Japanese language pack for the English language copies of the video game.

The additional voice pack was unveiled a couple of days ago. The Japanese-language voice pack is free for download for all "Fire Emblem Warriors" players, giving them the freedom to choose between English and Japanese voice options.

The announcement about the addition of the Japanese voice pack was made via the "Fire Emblem Warriors"' trailer. Before that though, fans were not hopeful about the video game supporting dual audio.

There had been quite a confusion about "Fire Emblem Warriors'" dual-audio status up until its recent launch. Nintendo has always inferred, if not directly addressed, the fact that English copies of the video game would only have English audio. This is despite the fact that both Japanese and English voice tracks have been consistently present and available in-game at a lot of the video game's pre-release events.

Fortunately, Nintendo of America has lifted the fog of misunderstanding and for the better too by making the announcement of including a Japanese voice pack for English copies of "Fire Emblem Warriors."

The additional voice pack will be given as a separate update which players need to download in order for the feature to be activated. As an added treat to fans, Nintendo is giving the Japanese language pack for free instead of making its users pay it for through its premium downloadable content (DLC).

With regard to "Fire Emblem Warriors'" DLC, the video game will be launching three DLC packs in December 2017, February 2018 and March 2018. Each DLC pack will have three playable characters, three new History scenarios, new weapons and costumes, and new support conversations.

The first DLC will highlight the contents from "Fire Emblem Fates," while the second pack will feature "Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon," and the third will focus on "Fire Emblem Awakening." Fans of the game can purchase these packs for $8.99 each or buy a season pass containing all three DLCs with a bonus bridal costume for Lucina for $20.00

"Fire Emblem Warriors" is currently on sale for video consoles Nintendo Switch and New Nintendo 3DS.
