A mobile version of deck-building card game Summoner Wars is due to appear on the App Store in June.

Plaid Hat Games, publisher of the physical card game / boardgame crossover, is working with Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer publisher Playdek to bring this fantastical magic-based battle experience to iOS devices.

As a Summoner, you must use your magical powers to raise mighty armies, then use your strategic cunning to crush your enemy's own enchanted forces.

Though further details on Summoner Wars for iOS are scarce, we do know that the touchscreen version will allow you to challenge up to three players via pass-the-handset, and participate in asynchronous online battles.

We'd also expect a number of the original game's factions to make the jump to iOS, though we can't tell you whether you'll be pitting Shadow Elves against Sand Goblins, or Deep Dwarves against Swamp Orcs at this stage.

Expect to hear more on Summoner Wars in the coming weeks, ahead of its planned June release.
