Fire Emblem Heroes set for release next month
UPDATE ONE: The Fire Emblem Direct tonight has confirmed new details about Fire Emblem on mobile, 3DS and Nintendo Switch.
Fire Emblem Heroes was revealed as the new mobile game coming out this year, the release date has been set for February 2.
"A world with two kingdoms: the Emblian Empire, which wishes to rule all worlds, and the Askran Kingdom, which stands in its way," the official description reads.
"You are a summoner with the special ability to call upon legendary Heroes from different Fire Emblem worlds. In order to save the Kingdom of Askr from destruction, join the Order of Heroes and face a never-ending challenge."
The game will feature streamlined turn-based battles, with upgradeable heroes, weapon types and special moves.
"Use Orbs to summon Heroes that will fight for you. Five colored summoning stones are randomly generated, allowing you to summon a Hero based on their color type. You can obtain Orbs by clearing story maps or purchasing them through the Shop."
The biggest news is that it will be a free game download with options in app purchases.

The Fire Emblem Direct is tonight and will look at new Nintendo Switch games
The Nintendo livestream begins tonight at 10pm UK time and focuses on all upcoming Fire Emblem titles, so there is a chance something else might be announced.
We already know a little about the upcoming Fire Emblem mobile game in development with DeNA and fans will be hoping to learn more about the recently announced Fire Emblem Warriors.
Warriors is a new Nintendo Switch game that has yet to be give a release date or any further details past the teaser trailer shown last week.
It didn’t show any real footage of what gameplay will be like, something that will surely change tonight.
Nintendo have warned that their presentation features video footage of software currently in production. And as such, certain aspects of the footage shown (e.g. terminology) may differ slightly from the final retail product.
You can watch the whole Fire Emblem Direct using the embed above, which should start a little before 10pm UK time tonight.

Recent reports have suggested that a Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation port for Nintendo Switch may also be announced tonight.
This is linked to apparent source code found on the Nintendo site, which apparently references the project.
“Two kingdoms have met at the crossroads of war, and you've walked the path of loyalty or kinship,” the official Nintendo 3DS description reads.
“Yet some mysteries remain unsolved. After purchasing either the Fire Emblem™ Fates: Birthright version or the Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest version, take a leap of faith in this third path by aligning with neither royal family.
“The secrets you seek await you in another realm. Dare to discover the hidden truth.”
However, fans will have to wait until tonight to see what is and what isn’t announced for the Nintendo Switch.
