Square Enix announced on its livestream for its Fullmetal Alchemist Mobile game on Friday that the game will launch for iOS and Android devices on August 4.
The game will be free-to-play with optional in-game purchases. Preregistration is open.
The game will tell the story of Hiromu Arakawa's Fullmetal Alchemist series with full voice-acting and scenes featuring 3DCG and new animation.
Nana Mizuki performs the game's theme song "Spiral."
The 20th anniversary of Arakawa's Fullmetal Alchemist was on July 12, 2021.
The game had a closed beta test in Japan from March 31 to April 8.
Arakawa is best known for her Fullmetal Alchemist and Silver Spoon manga. Arakawa's Fullmetal Alchemist manga ran in Monthly Shonen Gangan from 2001 to 2010. Viz Media released the series, as well as related novels and art books, in North America. The manga inspired television anime adaptations in 2003 and 2009, two OVAs, two anime films, and a live-action film. Two live-action sequel films launched recently commemorating the 20th anniversary of the franchise. Hagane no Renkinjutsushi: Kanketsu-hen - Fukushūsha Scar opened on May 20 and Hagane no Renkinjutsushi: Kanketsu-hen - Saigo no Rensei opens on June 24. Similar to the 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist anime, the 2009 Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood anime is based on Hiromu Arakawa's original manga, though the latter hews closer to the manga's story and ending.
