Revealed as half of a brand new trailer, Visions of Mana will arrive on PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Collection X/S, and PC on August 29. Its launch will mark the primary new Mana sport in over 15 years, in addition to the primary time the Mana collection could have appeared on an Xbox platform in its 30-year-plus historical past.
