Here’s a sight for sore eyes if you’re Mana fan - we’re excited to announce an entirely new entry in the series coming in 2024: Visions of Mana!
This beautiful new game is the first mainline instalment in the Mana series in over 15 years and returns to its action-RPG roots for an expansive, vibrant adventure across a semi-open field.
You can get a look at what to expect in the new trailer or read on and we’ll tell you all about this exciting and vibrant new adventure!
What is Visions of Mana?
You take the role of Val - a curious and carefree young man who lives in the Fire Village of Tianeea.
Once every four years, the Faerie visits regions of the world to choose alms - people who are fated to travel to the Tree of Mana, which presides over the world’s vital flow of mana. Val invites his childhood friend to a festival to welcome the visitor, but as the night falls, the sky lights up with sparkling lights and the Faerie chooses her as the alm.
With the blessings of his village, Val sets out on a journey to accompany his friend to the Tree of Mana as her soul guard.
