Square Enix's action RPG will be the next major release in the Mana series, and it's no wonder the fanbase has been waiting for its developments for a long time.
The existence of Visions of Mana was first hinted at by Square Enix in 2021, but the official announcement was made much later: the Japanese publisher confirmed at The Game Awards in 2023 that an RPG was being made, which had not even been made at home. By the company itself, because the developer is Ouka Studios, affiliated with the Chinese company NetEase. The Mana series received its last main episode eighteen years ago, in 2006, when Dawn of Mana was released as a PS2 exclusive.
Since then, many remakes, spin-offs and mobile games have been released, but the biggest development in the last decade is Visions of Mana, which Square Enix has said nothing about for half a year, but that may change soon: the leak is mainly from SEGA games And Atlus, according to the Midori website, we will hear new information about the game soon so that we can know the release date, and Square Enix will also provide more details. Since there are two events where Visions of Mana could appear (Summer Game Fest, Xbox Games Showcase), we can expect it at one of them, because after all, it should be released sometime in the summer, unless it is suddenly postponed.
New information about Visions of Mana will be revealed soon.
Please look forward to an update on the release date and more information about this title soon. pic.twitter.com/d9ffWbTJBA

Midori also said on Twitter that Visions of Mana will also be released for the Nintendo Switch successor. Currently, the targeted platforms are the following: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC, and PlayStation 4. Nintendo's new console will not be a surprise as Square Enix wants to use a more aggressive and multi-platform strategy (in addition, the Japanese publisher will release on a smaller number of platforms) but quality titles). But don't expect that at Nintendo Direct in June, since the big N has already confirmed that it will be about games being made for the Switch, and not about next-gen hardware.
This is correct information.
