Ahead of the full release of Visions of Mana next month, a demo is now available to download on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store, which we learned from a report from Gematsu. Those who purchase the game and have save data from the demo will receive three weapons for Val: the Gladius small sword, the Falx great sword, and the Horn Lance. However, save data from the demo cannot be carried over to the full game.
“In the demo, players will embark on a journey that begins partway through Chapter 1, starting at Rime Falls and continuing into different areas, including the Fallow Steppe and Rhata Harbor,” the demo’s description reads. “Those up for the challenge can also take on the chapter’s final boss, the Kraken.”
Check out the Demo Announcement Trailer for Visions of Mana below:
Players can join up with three party members, Val, Careena, and Morley. They can also experiment with the Wind and Moon classes.
“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.
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 series.
Visions of Mana will be released on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC on August 29.
