The Legend of Mana was originally released in 1999 for PlayStation, so a new remaster this many years later is an exciting announcement from Square Enix.
During the Square Enix Presents event, the trailer began with serene music, and it continued to show off the fantastic, anime-style animation. The trailer also included wondrous woods with talking trees, never-before-seen creatures, and talking rock landscapes.
It also displayed a large map, though the map was empty, so it’s likely that the game will span across many different locations that you must uncover as you go. The trailer doesn’t show off many details in terms of gameplay mechanics, but it will more-than-likely be similar to the gameplay in the original. We are excited to learn more in the near future.
We already know that the game is going to feature the Ring Ring Land mini game, which will be the first time that it’s featured outside of Japan.
The Legend of Mana appears to have not only a storybook vibe, but it also includes a flavor of Studio Ghibli, for those that are familiar with the movies. If you are looking for a dreamy wonderland, Legend of Mana is for you.
Other Legend of Mana games have already been brought back by Square Enix, including Secret of Mana and Trials of Mana, so we aren’t terribly surprised that they’ve chosen to revive Legend of Mana following suit.
Legend of Mana will available on the Ps4, PC, and Nintendo Switch, and the game will be released on June 24.
