Family Friendly Gaming News
LOS ANGELES (June 12, in the year of
our Lord 2024) – Today, Square Enix® unveiled the next
mainline instalment to the Mana series, Visions of Mana™, and
announced that the game is releasing Aug. 29, 2024, for
PlayStation®5 (PS5®), PlayStation®4 (PS4®), Xbox Series X|S and
PC. The new trailer for the highly anticipated action-RPG
reveals new playable characters and gameplay features that
players will encounter on their exciting journey. Pre-orders for
Visions of Mana are now available across all platforms*.
Visions of Mana is a brand-new story and mainline entry to the
Mana series and follows the journey of Val, a newly appointed
soul guard who is tasked with accompanying his childhood friend
Hinna, a chosen alm, to the Tree of Mana. This game introduces
new characters Palamena and Julei, who Val and Hinna befriend on
their journey through the vast world to reach the Tree of Mana.
In Visions of Mana, players will be able to build their own
three-person dream team while in battle, switching between the
five playable characters, Val, Careena, Morley, Palamena, and
Julei, with supporting companions Ramcoh, Aesh and Hinna
assisting from the side.
The new trailer provides a closer look at some of the latest
gameplay features, including the Elemental Vessels, the mystical
artifacts that house the power of the elements within them.
Players can use the Elemental Vessels to change classes and gain
new abilities during battles. With each character possessing
their own specific class for each Elemental Vessel, players can
customize their team lineup to enjoy a flexible, fast-paced
fighting style. Visions of Mana also sees the return of the
series staple in-battle Ring Menu, allowing players to pause
combat and plan out their next move. Elemental triggers can also
be found throughout the vibrant world and used to unlock new
places to explore and find hidden items on the map.
Players can even sail the sea or soar above the clouds with the
beloved travel companions Vuscav and Flammie. By summoning these
trusty companions, players will easily be able to traverse
across the open waters and the world map.
