Square Enix has unveiled a new trailer for its highly anticipated action RPG, Trials of Mana, coming soon to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC.
The latest footage shines a spotlight on two distinct heroes from the game’s diverse roster: Kevin, heir to the Beast Kingdom of Ferolia, and Charlotte, the granddaughter of Wendel’s revered Priest of Light.
These character introductions offer fans a deeper look at their unique backgrounds and roles within the overarching narrative.
Trials of Mana is a full high-definition remake of the iconic third entry in the Mana series, originally released exclusively in Japan as Seiken Densetsu 3.
Until now, this classic title had not been localized for audiences outside Japan, making this worldwide release an important event for RPG fans and series newcomers alike.
The remake is built from the ground up, featuring entirely modern 3D graphics, a revamped action-based combat system, updated leveling and skill progression, and new voice acting to enhance the storytelling experience. The central narrative follows six distinct protagonists, each with their motivations and destinies, who come together to combat the growing threat of destructive monsters bent on plunging the world into chaos.
With the mystical force of mana weakened, players must assemble a three-person party from these six characters—allowing for a multitude of party combinations and unique interactions.
This layer of customization offers replay value and encourages exploration of the interconnected storylines from multiple perspectives. Kevin, known for his strength and lineage as the prince of Ferolia, brings a raw power-oriented approach to battle.
Charlotte, meanwhile, stands out for her quirky, superstitious personality and her quest to protect her friend at all costs, embodying a more cautious and supportive playstyle.
Square Enix describes Charlotte as "a curious, somewhat timid individual on a mission to watch over those she holds dear." For early adopters, Square Enix is offering a special incentive.
Players who pre-purchase or buy either the physical or digital edition of Trials of Mana on Nintendo Switch or other platforms before May 21, 2020, will receive the Rabite Adornment downloadable content.
This exclusive bonus allows characters to gain increased experience points after battles, up to level 10, providing a helpful edge at the outset of their journey. Trials of Mana is set for a global release on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC on April 24, 2020.
The game will be available through the Nintendo eShop and at retail.
With its updated visuals, deep character-driven storytelling, and faithfully reimagined gameplay, Trials of Mana is poised to become a standout title for fans of classic action RPGs and newcomers looking for their next Nintendo Switch adventure.
