Nintendo's Dragalia Lost Getting A Video Direct [Update]

Tonight, at 8:30 PM PT / 11:30 PM ET, Nintendo will have another Direct. The livestream will discuss new details about Nintendo's first original mobile title, Dragalia Lost. [Update: As promised, the Direct-style video offered up a full reveal for Dragalia Lost. It's an action RPG co-developed alongside Cygames, the company responsible for popular mobile RPG Granblue Fantasy.]

Announced last April, Dragalia Lost is an action RPG developed by both Nintendo and Cygames. Described as a "new gaming experience with worldwide appeal," Dragalia Lost launches in the United States, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau on September 27. Nintendo hasn't announced any other information about the game, so you'll have to tune in to the Direct later tonight to learn more.

Nintendo long expressed a desire to stay away from mobile game development, but the company eventually changed its tune. The developer's three mobile titles--Super Mario Run, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, and Fire Emblem Heroes--each released to various levels of success. Both Super Mario Run and Heroes have done alright, but Pocket Camp faced heavy criticism for its repeated attempts to get players to buy into microtransactions.

Shigeru Miyamoto--most well known for creating games like Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda--recently announced that Nintendo is trying to find a different way for getting players to pay for mobile games. "I can't say that our fixed-cost model has really been a success," Miyamoto said, "But we're going to continue pushing it forward until it becomes entrenched. That way everyone can develop games in a comfortable environment. By focusing on bringing games to the widest range of people possible, we can continue boosting our mobile game business."

The Dragalia Lost Direct comes a day after Nintendo's announcement that 22 indie games are coming to Switch. The biggest surprise from yesterday's Direct is Into the Breach coming to Switch. One of our favorite titles from 2018--we gave Into the Breach a 9/10 in our review--this turn-based strategy game is available on Nintendo Eshop right now for $15/£11.39.
