Square Enix had a fairly large stage presence at the Tokyo Game Show yesterday.Streaming for nearly seven hours straight, we got glimpses of basically everything the studio is looking to release in the next year or so. One of the highlights, aside fromFinal Fantasy VII Remake, was a new look atTrials of Mana(captured by Gematsu). The remake ofSeikan Densetsu 3thatwas announced at E3, things appear to be shaping up nicely for the once Japan-exclusive entry in theManaseries.
I’m not sure I’m totally sold on the visual design (it looks a little flat here), but the gameplay is what I sort of wanted for thatSecret of Manaremake released last year. This seems to make better use of the added 3D space that modern games can take advantage of, which should help improve the flow of combat a little. It doesn’t hurt that the boss fight featured here is dramatically different than anything the original had.
Trials of Manawill be heading to PC, PS4, and Switchnext year on June 30, 2025.
