Fire Emblem Fates is now due out in North America on February 19, 2016. The game will be available in two versions, known as "Birthright" and "Conquest". Each version can be bought either in retail or digital for $39.99 and a digital version of the opposite version will be available at a discounted price of $19.99.

In addition, a special edition was announced that includes both versions of the game as well as a third, upcoming DLC pack known as "Revelations". It will offer a look at both games' storylines, so players are encouraged to clear both first. The special edition will cost $79.99 and includes an art book and 3DS XL pouch.
