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

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.

As the first new mainline entry in Square Enix’s Mana series in nearly twenty years, Visions of Mana is a game that may have had their eye on since its announcement late last year, and excitement surrounding it has only grown with each new promising showing since then. Recently, a number of outlets had the chance to go hands-on with the action RPG, following which more new gameplay footage has emerged.

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.

After the announcement at the 2023 Game Awards Show, Square Enix is ready to show us more of Visions of Mana. This is the first mainline Mana game since Dawn of Mana released in 2006. With almost 20 years between installments, Visions of Mana has a lot to live up to.

The end of the year is always a little bit funny in the world of video games. We come to the end of the mad rush of game releases before Christmas, cross our fingers to receive something to play as a gift, and charge up controllers and headphones to prep for some big gaming sessions (hopefully). For the games press, we’re also caught in a strange limbo, looking back on the year that was with everyone handing out Game of the Year awards, but also looking ahead to the big exciting things coming out in the future.

Visions of Mana has been confirmed by Square Enix, with publisher confirming that the game will be released in 2024.

Fans of Square Enix’s Mana JRPG series were in for a treat at 2023’s The Game Awards with the announcement of Visions of Mana, the first mainline entry in the series since 2006’s Dawn of Mana on the PlayStation 2.

Square Enix has made several attempts to inject life back into the Mana franchise in recent years, with remakes and remasters of Secrets of Mana, Trials of Mana, and Legend of Mana, and clearly, those attempts have been successful enough to warrant a new game.

Good news, Mana fans. After years of remakes and remasters, Square Enix have announced the first all-new Mana game in 15 years. Visions Of Mana will return to the series action-RPG roots, and pop you into the boots of Val, who - all right, deep breath - is a soul guard chosen to be the Alm Of Fire, and whose job it is to go and revive the mana flow at ye olde Mana Tree. Got it? GOod. Let's watch the reveal trailer.

Square Enix has filed trademarks for “Visions of Mana” (1, 2) and “Pixelight” (1, 2) in Europe and Australia. Both marks were filed on December 7.
