News: Get a sneak peek at what you can expect when Legend of Mana releases this month.

New footage for the opening cinematic of Legend of Mana was just released by Square Enix. Legend of Mana is the remastered version of the fourth installment in the classic Mana series, as part of its “Square Enix Presents” summer showcase.

The Mana series, known as Seiken Densetsu in Japan, is a long-running action-RPG series spanning multiple entries for nearly three decades. The series is known for its enchanting characters, story and music, as well as pioneering an action-oriented approach to traditional JRPG combat. With the release of Collection of Mana for Nintendo Switch in 2019, new and existing players can now immerse themselves in the enchanting world of the Mana series with the first three classic titles—Final Fantasy Adventure, Secret of Mana and Trials of Mana —in their original form. In 2020, a full high-definition 3D remake of Trials of Mana was also released for modern platforms, selling over one million copies to date. Currently, an updated version of Legend of Mana is set to release on June 24, 2021, bringing remastered visuals and the “Ring Ring Land'' mini-game to the West for the first time.

Legend of Mana will be available digitally for $29.99 on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 (via backward compatibility) and PC (via Steam) on June 24. Players who purchase Legend of Mana before July 23 will receive an early purchase reward, including ten avatars and the choice of a custom Legend of Mana theme on the PlayStation 4 or a Legend of Mana Wallpaper on PC. Additional details on all editions of the game, pre-orders and pre-order bonuses are available at: https://square-enix-games.com/en_US/games/legend-mana
