Here’s the full stream:

Featuring a fully-voiced story with a mix of 3DCG event scenes and alchemy battles, Fullmetal Alchemist Mobile will be a free-to-play game with optional in-app purchases.

While we wait for more details on plans beyond this, you can watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood on Crunchyroll, which describes the series like so:

Disregard for alchemy’s laws ripped half of Ed Elric’s limbs from his body and left Al’s soul clinging to a suit of armor. To restore what was lost, the brothers seek the Philosopher’s Stone. Enemies and allies – the corrupt military, the Homunculi, and foreign alchemists – will alter the Elric’s course, but their purpose will remain unchanged and their bond unbreakable.
