Square Enix Announces New Strategy Mobile RPG Called Emberstoria

Not content with just console Japanese role-playing games, Square Enix will be making a brand-new IP for mobile and PC.

Square Enix has announced Emberstoria, a new free-to-play strategy RPG that is slated for iOS, Android, and PC. The game is listed for a 29 November release on the App Store despite not having a release date on the trailer.

Being an F2P game, the strategy title will most likely have gacha-able heroes and heroines called Embers. The title also boasts character designs from Yusuke Kozaki of Fire Emblem fame, music from Masashi Hamauzu (Final Fantasy XIII series), and voicework from Mariya Ise, Aya Endo, and many current anime seiyuus.

Key features & trailer below.

Conquest: Fight Alongside Allies – Analyze the battlefield in real-time and conquer the tower at the center of the world. Battle against enemy forces, defeat magical beasts, and take on the trials of Purgatory with your allies.
City Development: Build a Base – The key to victory is developing Anima Arca, the floating city that acts as your base. Strengthen your base through construction, research, training, and resource production. You can customize the base’s layout to your liking.
Training: Embers, the Pillars of Your Army – Form contracts and fight alongside Embers, otherworldly warriors summoned from hell. Embers can be trained using items obtained by defeating magical beasts. Weapons and armor crafted from magical beast materials will also become a powerful asset in battle.
