The game was first announced in April but, at that time, was still entirely Japanese
As for the game itself, not too much is known right now. All we can see from the trailer is that it looks like your standard JRPG where you play as a teenage protagonist who is joined by a few companions to go on an epic adventure. We can also see that you will be able to transform into a dragon and who doesn’t love that. Furthermore, we can determine that the combat is not turn-based so any Nintendo lovers that hate turn-based combat can rest assured. In order to tell us more about the game, Nintendo has already announced that it will host a Nintendo Direct live stream later today which will be completely focused on Dragalia Lost. Make sure to check when the stream is live in your timezone.
Tune in on 8/29 at 8:30pm PT for details on Nintendo’s upcoming mobile game, #DragaliaLost! Be sure to check out the livestream, and then get ready to start playing on 9/27. https://t.co/sVsqDLEOcv pic.twitter.com/8luKlEP2kh

Dragalia Lost is by far the first game that Nintendo has released for the mobile phones and most of their earlier released are actually really successful. However, none of them were fully original titles. We saw Mario in Super Mario Run, Pokémon in Pokémon Go and Magikarp Jump and Fire Emblem in Fire Emblem Heroes. It seems that after testing the water with these titles, Nintendo is fully committed to utilizing mobile phones as a gaming platform.
