The next console entry in the classic Mana<\/strong> series is in development some 15 years after the last mainline entry on a home console.<\/span><\/p>\n

Producer Masaru Oyamada revealed the news during a Mana series 30th-anniversary livestream that took place on June 27.<\/p>\n

“We wanted to announce it by running a cool trailer, but we’re only at the start of the 30th anniversary,” Oyamada said during the presentation (thanks, Gematsu<\/a>).<\/p>\n

“But we are in fact developing [a new game], but please wait a little while longer until the proper announcement. Although we did have [Koichi IshiiMana, series creator] take a look at it a little bit ago. We’re at that level, so please look forward to it. Development still has some way to go… We are developing for console, so I hope you can look forward to it.”<\/p>\n

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a wholly new entry appear for the series: 14 years ago, we saw the launch of Heroes of Mana on the Nintendo DS, and it was way back in 2006 that we saw Dawn of Mana arrive on PS2.<\/p>\n

Last year, we saw the rerelease of Trials of Mana<\/a>, a 2020 retread of a 1995 game, that reintroduced the series to newer players.<\/p>\n

If you’re eager for more Mana, you’re in luck: the anniversary stream also confirmed that last year’s Trials of Mana remake is coming to Android and iOS soon, and another mobile title – Echoes of Mana is in development, too.<\/p>\n
