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.
Today, Square Enix announced the availability of a Visions of Mana demo on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Xbox Series S|X. Console users can get the demo from the PlayStation Store and Xbox Store, while PC users may download it via Steam or Microsoft Store.
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."
Visions of Mana is the first new entry in Square Enix's Mana series in 15 years, and with that comes some fundamental changes. Following my hands-on preview with Visions of Mana, I had the chance to ask producer Masaru Oyamada if cooperative multiplayer was ever considered for Visions of Mana, and if multiplayer had a place in the Mana series' future.
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.
Visions of Mana's producer has wanted to make a new game for around a decade but wasn't sure anyone would care for it.
