Square Enix announced a Summer 2024 release date window and showed off new gameplay for Visions of Mana at this week’s Xbox Developer Direct.

Visions of Mana, the next entry in Square Enix's Mana series, sadly won't have co-operative multiplayer.

Visions of Mana won't include a multiplayer mode like its predecessors at launch, but the game's producer has toyed with the idea of reintroducing co-op to the series "in the future."

Square Enix’s Visions of Mana is the next big title in the long-running action RPG series, with a story focused on Val as he accompanies his friend Hinna to the Tree of Mana. Combat incorporates special abilities via Elemental Vessels, which can also result in different classes. However, it won’t have one thing that the series is renowned for: Co-op multiplayer.

Square Enix’s Visions of Mana has received a new trailer, though it’s more focused on the series’ evolution through a player’s eyes. It starts with Final Fantasy Adventure and the latter’s childhood before progressing to Secret of Mana, Trials of Mana and Dawn of Mana. Check it out below.

The next title in the Mana series from Square Enix, Visions of Mana, is out this Summer. As the first mainline title in over 15 years, it offers vibrant visuals, a real-time combat system with new mechanics, and over 100 tracks. Various previews and details are available, including a new gameplay trailer, but the publisher also revealed sales numbers for the series.

Square Enix’s Visions of Mana has received several new details and impressions, alongside a new gameplay trailer showcasing other party members. Interestingly, when speaking to Noisy Pixel, series producer Masaru Oyamada revealed that it has more content than previous entries.

The Secret of Mana is one of my favorite games of all time.

The vibrant settings and character designs in Visions of Mana instantly alerted me that I’d be knee-deep into fantasy, riding on the back of a giant black wolf into the grassy plains of Fallow Steppe. A lush landscape welcomed me as I chatted with my teammates on top of my mount and tussled with little woodland monsters.

Square Enix has released new information, footage, and screenshots for Visions of Mana introducing the game’s story, characters, elemental vessels, and pikuls. Additionally, producer Masaru Oyamada confirmed in an interview with Famitsu that the game is developed by Ouka Studios.

As part of Xbox’s Developer Direct, Square Enix Ltd. shared exciting details about Visions of Mana™, marking the first mainline entry in the Mana series in over 15 years.
