The Mana series is getting a brand-new injection of life, as Square Enix have revealed a full remake of Trials of Mana, complete with revamped action-RPG system, skill and levelling systems and modern 3D graphics. It’s due in 2020 and is being released on the PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam).
So, what is
it? The Trials of Mana remake is going to be a fully high definition remake of
the third entry in the Mana series, that had been previously released only in
japan in 1995 under the different name of Seiken Densetsu 3. It tells the tales
of six different heroes, fighting to protect their world against the monsters
that have invaded their world. Choose
three of these six heroes, and the player will experience different stories.
