Visions of Mana, the fifth main title in the Mana series, is scheduled to release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC on August 29, 2024. The announcement comes after the game was given an ESRB rating last month.
Announced in December of last year, Visions of Mana will be the first mainline game in the series since 2006.

The new footage shows off five playable party members, each of which has a distinct fighting style. As the player continues through the title, more advanced character classes become available, making battles more of a blast.
“In Tianeea, the Fire Village, everyone is preparing to celebrate the coming of the Faerie and the naming of an “alm.” Every four years, alms from around the world are chosen to travel to the Tree of Mana and rejuvenate the flow of mana power. A soul guard is also chosen to ensure the alms’ safe pilgrimage. Val is one such guard,” the game’s description reads.
In April, a special live-action trailer for the game was released in Japan, following a young boy through his experiences with the series starting in 1991 and continuing through each consecutive release.
The Mana series began with Final Fantasy Adventure for the Game Boy, setting the series up as a side story to Square’s flagship franchise Final Fantasy. However, this changed with the second installment, Secret of Mana, as it became its own series.
Visions of Mana will release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC on August 29.
