Accepted for publication, A&A (submitted: 9 Oct 2010; accepted: 1 Dec 2010) in press; based on data obtained with Swift, Nordic Optical Telescope, Ondrejov Observatory. Corrected typo, Fermi?LAT detection was at energies above 100 MeV (with thanks to C. C. Cheung)

Context. V407 Cyg was, before 2010 Mar., known only as a D-type symbiotic binary system in which the Mira variable has a pulsation period of approximately 750 days, one of the longest known. On 2010 Mar. 10, it was discovered in outburst, eventually reaching V < 8. This is the first recorded nova event for this system, but it closely resembles the spectroscopic development of RS Oph, the prototypical symbiotic-like recurrent nova. It was also detected by Fermi above 100 MeV and displayed strong, likely nonthermal centimeter wavelength radio emission.
