Today, Square Enix announced the availability of a Visions of Mana demo on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Xbox Series S|X. Console users can get the demo from the PlayStation Store and Xbox Store, while PC users may download it via Steam or Microsoft Store.
The Visions of Mana demo allows fans to experience some story, battles, and exploration. However, the developers clarified that some content has been changed for the demo. Moreover, progress will not carry over to the full game. Still, if you play the demo and then purchase the game, you will obtain the following items at launch:
・Gladius (small sword for Val)
・Falx (great sword for Val)
・Horn Lance (lance for Val)
*These weapons can be claimed by starting a new game and proceeding as far as Chapter 1.
*These bonus items can also be acquired by progressing through the game.
The following weapons will be available to equip as classes unlock in the full game:
*The “Gladius” can be equipped once Val becomes playable in Chapter 1.
*The “Falx” can be equipped once it becomes possible to change class to the wind class.
*The “Horn Lance” can be equipped once it becomes possible to change class to the moon class.
Visions of Mana is the first entry in the franchise since 2006's Dawn of Mana, which launched on PlayStation 2. It is being developed by Ouka Studios, a subsidiary of NetEase. However, series designer Koichi Ishii, producer Masaru Oyamada, and composers Hiroki Kikuta, Tsuyoshi Sekito, and Ryo Yamazaki have returned for the occasion.
This is a semi-open-world action role-playing game in which players take full control of their party of three. Acquiring new Spirit Vessels allows them to freely change a character's class. The PC system requirements can be found below. The full game will be released on August 29.
