Let's play Visions of Mana (PS5, Performance Mode) - The first hour of gameplay
Visions of Mana is an upcoming action role-playing game developed by Ouka Studios and published by Square Enix for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S. It is the fifth main title in the Mana series, scheduled for release worldwide on August 29, 2024. Following the journey of a group of magical "alms" and their guardian Val on a pilgrimage to rejuvenate the Mana Tree, the gameplay features exploration of open areas and action-based battles, with elemental powers being used in both combat and exploration.
Development of Visions of Mana began in 2020, being the first mainline entry since Dawn of Mana (2006). The staff included multiple series veterans including producer Masaru Oyamada, artist Haccan, composers Hiroki Kikuta, Tsuyoshi Sekito, and Ryo Yamazaki, and series creator Koichi Ishii overseeing monster redesigns. The gameplay and world design was intended to evoke elements from earlier Mana games.
