Update (2/2/2017, 3:26 PM EST): Fire Emblem Heroes is currently unavailable for North American players. Although it’s live in the App Store, it’s not available for install. Players can only pre-register at the game for this time. While we don’t know why this has happened or when the issue will be resolved, Nintendo is offering 10 free orbs to NA players, which they can redeem by following this link after the game becomes available for install. 

Announced in the Fire Emblem Direct in mid-January, Fire Emblem Heroes is the first of the numerous Fire Emblem games slated to be released in the coming months. This is Nintendo’s second foray into mobile gaming after the well-received Super Mario Run launched for iOS in December.

At present, the game has just started rolling out and coming online in some countries, though there are still some reporting that it’s not available in their area. If so, worry not — it shouldn’t be too far behind!

Nintendo has released a short video showing off the gameplay:

We’ll be sure to have more information on Fire Emblem Heroes (including guides) in the coming days, so stay tuned.
