Players will be able to set off on a mystical journey in Legend of Mana, set to launch on June 24. Stepping into the shoes of the protagonist, players will embark on a journey to find the mystical Mana Tree seen in a dream, only to discover that the world map is empty. Throughout their adventure, they will acquire special artifacts, which can be placed on the map to bring towns and dungeons to life via the Land Creation system. Players can progress through the story in different ways based on the choices they make, offering a more personal and unique gameplay experience.
 
Legend of Mana will come with remastered visuals, a rearranged soundtrack, and the “Ring Ring Land'' mini-game which will be available to the West for the first time. During their travels, they’ll encounter a colorful cast of characters, square off against fearsome monsters in real-time combat and explore the vast world of Fa’Diel, all while experiencing Legend of Mana’s timeless story.
 
Legend of Mana will be available digitally for $29.99 on the Nintendo Switch™ system, the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and PC (STEAM®) on June 24. Players who purchase Legend of Mana before July 23 will receive an early purchase reward, including ten avatars and a custom Legend of Mana theme on the PlayStation®4 system or Legend of Mana Wallpaper on PC (STEAM®).

The original was never available in PAL, I don't think, so it will be great to finally play this!

Cool. I had Saga Frontier for PSX back in the day. Honestly this is probably a 'wait for sale' title for me, but exciting nonetheless. Cheers for posting.

Man YES, was fairly dissapointed with today's Nintendo Direct but glad to see so many of those announced games being Multiplats with PS4 Versions... Better quality/performance (especially when I can get my hands on a PS5 ?) and Trophys ? I know what Versions I'm picking up ?

Bit disappointed this seems to be releasing digitally only, but nonetheless I am glad this is also coming to PS4. $30 is pretty steep though, probably gonna wait for a sale on it. Did the same for many of the other remasters/ports of old Square Enix games, most of which I've still yet to play admittedly. In fact, I already own the original version of Legend of Mana, which I've never played. Just too many games and not enough time.

 

It is nice to see so many older titles being brought to modern platforms with enhancements. Still hoping they re-release SaGa Frontier 2 as well at some point, and perhaps re-release Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song or the original SNES version (no idea why they haven't considering they translated and ported 2 and 3).

Played PSX version back in the days. I don't Remember well but i think It wasn't that good.

Happy to give a second chance.

I'm really happy about this one. it was a little confusing for some map, but was fun.

I was very worried that you only had access to the "re-arranged" soundtrack, but happily, you can also get the original one. Legend of Mana might have my favorite soundtrack of any Squeenix game.

Now please... Bring back Chrono Cross!

I hope we get another game like Trials

Legend of Mana is very different from Trials (or anything else in the Mana group, at least among ones I've played). It's pretty easy to miss stuff due to its strange, "lay out lands, and if they're next to the right ones, you'll open up events" nature.

 

Also, the game is incredibly easy on its default difficulty, but on its hardest difficulty, it is pretty brutal. You really need to farm good materials and make the best weapons. Finally, originally on PS1, you could unlock new bosses if you had save files from other Squeenix games. I hope all of those bosses are unlocked by default here.

Never got to play this one. Good news.

This was the best gaming news I've gotten in so long. I played this game so much growing up and have so many great memories with it. Was so excited when I saw it was coming to the PS4 as well, sucks that it's only digital for NA. There's a Collector's Edition on the SE JP site, picked it up just because I've always wanted this game to be rereleased or ported so I'm ecstatic that it's finally coming true. Can't wait!

This announcement genuinely made me happy. I'm loving all these remasters for games I've never played, but I know I would. Super fun. I've always been a huge fan of the pixely type of games. Also perfect it's digital, considering 99% of my library is digital now lol

I am curious about this one, so far my favorite Mana is Adventures of Mana. I know that was released on Mobile and Vita but I would love to see a console release.
