Square Enix announced Visions of Mana last night at The Game Awards. Coming more than 15 years since the release of the previous mainline entry, Visions of Mana will go back to the franchise's roots as an action-RPG. Players will embark on an adventure as Val, "a soul guard assigned to protect his childhood friend, who has been chosen by the Faerie as the Alm of Fire to travel to the Tree of Mana and rejuvenate the mana flow."
Something tells me that something will probably go awry and sidetrack the straightforward task by several hours or days.
Visions of Mana is looking at a 2024 release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. There was no Xbox One version of the game included in this announcement.
Square Enix released a new trailer which provides a first look at the newly imagined world of Mana in the all-new Visions of Mana. The trailer features action-packed gameplay and showcases a vibrant world where players will be able to journey across a range of breathtaking environments, battle with an array of enemies and monsters, including fan-favorite Rabites, while exploring a world where the powers of nature and elemental spirits connect. Fans and newcomers alike will also get to experience new and evolved gameplay with real-time 3D combat.
Since the series’ debut in 1991 as FINAL FANTASY™ ADVENTURE, a spin-off of the FINAL FANTASY series, Mana games have immersed players in bright vibrant worlds, breathtaking environments, heartwarming characters and high fantasy storylines across many genres and platforms. Fans of the series can expect new designs of the series’ beloved creatures from Mana series Illustrator Airi Yoshioka and a new captivating musical score composed by Mana series composers Hiroki Kikuta, Tsuyoshi Sekito and Ryo Yamazaki.
