With an iOS release listed as "coming soon". Following up from the successful Super Mario Run for iOS, Nintendo's next mobile offering will be Fire Emblem: Heroes. A series that, thanks to several handheld titles in the past, is perfectly suited to the mobile market. The announcement came via a Fire Emblem specific Nintendo Direct earlier today, and the debut trailer showcases a game very much in-line with Fire Emblem's we've seen before.

And as fans of the series, that's not a bad thing.

Fire Emblem Heroes is an original strategy-RPG about two warring kingdoms in a bitter clash. As a summoner, players build their army by calling upon Fire Emblem heroes from worlds that span the breadth of the series. Players will wage strategic tactical battles streamlined for on-the-go play and level up a mix of new combatants and legendary heroes. Some familiar hero characters will become allies, while others will become enemy generals and take arms against you. Players can enjoy the full majesty of tactical role playing on bite sized maps designed fit nicely on a smartphone screen, even when playing in short bursts. Lead your army with easy touch and drag controls, including the ability to attack by simply swiping an ally hero over an enemy. If you manage to defeat every enemy on a given map, victory will be yours.

The press release for the game also hints at additional DLC content that may include new characters to battle and chapters to play.
