A new entry in the Mana series is on its way to consoles, according to franchise producer Masaru Oyamada.
During a live stream celebrating the Mana series’ thirtieth-anniversary (via Gematsu), Oyamada said:
“We wanted to announce it by running a cool trailer, but we’re only at the start of the 30th anniversary.”
Oyamada then went on to say:
“But we are in fact developing [a new title], but please wait a little while longer until the proper announcement. Although we did have [Mana series creator Koichi Ishii] take a look at it a little bit ago. We’re at that level [of development], 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.”
While this is sure to be exciting for fans—or Manastics, as I like to call them—this game sounds as if it were still a long way off. As Oyamada says, “Development still has some way to go.”
The last main entry in the series was Heroes of Mana, on the Nintendo DS, which came out in 2007. But the series has refused to dwindle or dim. Since then, we have had a slew of remakes and rereleases—including Trials of Mana, Secret of Mana, and Collection of Mana.
This new Mana game will be on the PlayStations and Xboxes—as well as, most likely, the Nintendo Switch—whenever it does make its way to us.
