For the first time the Mana series is coming to Xbox. The new role-playing game in the series – Visions of Mana – is releasing on Xbox Series X|S this summer.
This was announced at the Developer_Direct today. In a surprise announcement, as it was the only game people didn’t know about being shown, Square Enix showed the gameplay of the newest addition to the series. And this isn’t a small announcement, as it’s the first mainline addition to the series in over 15 years.
The Mana series started back in 1991 as a sidestory for Final Fantasy. But, in the past 32 years the game has turned into a staple of the Square Enix RPG portfolio.
The XboxEra has a post up about the game HERE and I’ve put some of the most interesting bits below:
What is Visions of Mana?
This sprawling new single-player action RPG puts you in the shoes of Val – a curious and carefree young man and skilled fighter. One eventful night, his childhood friend is chosen as an alm – someone who must travel to the Mana Tree and rejuvenate the flow of mana power. Val joins her as the Soul Guard to protect her on her journey, and an epic adventure begins.

What is the Mana series?
The Mana games are a long-running series of fantasy RPGs that typically feature fast-paced, action-based combat, appealing visuals and music, and stories that center around themes of nature and the majestic Mana Tree.
