Square Enix has released a new Japan-only trailer for upcoming action RPG Visions of Mana — and it's specifically designed to play on the nostalgia of longtime Mana fans. The video depicts the life of a man who's grown up with the franchise, from grabbing his first Mana title as a kid, to watching the games evolve over the course of entire console generations. Finally, he sees a billboard for Visions of Mana, and the cycle is complete.
Visions of Mana is still set to release this summer on PS5 and PS4, and we would assume that a more specific launch date isn't far off.

As if i were going to buy a game from net ease, ridiculous, never ever again.
You guys ever learn the Secret of Mana? I did. It was made by SquareSOFT, not Squeenix.
I’m VERY excited for this one. Like @JDCII said, I don’t need it to be perfect. I’m 1000% down for a fun nostalgia trip. Mana is comfort food. It reminds me of days when my pals and I would sit around the SNES with our Multitap to play Secret of Mana and we all had
