When the world was shrouded in darkness, the Goddess of Mana drew forth the Sword of Mana to smite the eight Benevodons , monsters of destruction

She sealed the horrors inside the eight Mana Stones, bringing the realm back from the brink. Weak from rebuilding the world, the Mana Goddess changed into a tree and fell fast asleep for years.

However, the forces of evil sought to free the Benevodons to gain control of the world. They started a terrible war to further their plot and destabilize the kingdoms.
Peace was at an end.

Mana itself began to disappear from the world and the Mana Tree to wither...

Originally released in Japan as Seiken Densetsu 3 in 1995, and later making its debut in the West with the Collection of Mana on Nintendo Switch earlier this year, Trials of Mana is a full, high-definition remake of the third entry in the classic Mana series, seamlessly bringing the beloved story and characters to a new, modern era of fans.

Players can start their epic Trials of Mana journey in a free playable demo available today for the Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PC (Steam) ahead of the game’s release.

The demo for the upcoming action-RPG lets players be the first to explore the game’s vast fantasy world, selecting their party of three from six unique characters and setting forth on an exciting journey to battle against the forces of evil. Players will be able to try each character by experiencing the beginning of each hero’s story and following their adventures. Players will also be able to continue their progress made within the demo through to the full game.

For fans unsure of which character to choose first in Trials of Mana, a personality quiz is now available to see which hero suits you best. With a strict time-limit on each question, users will have to react with their instincts to discover which hero’s personality matches to their own. Square Enix Members who complete the quiz will also receive special character avatar portraits, so each user can show their hero in style.

Trials of Mana immerses players in an unforgettable adventure filled with exciting gameplay, memorable heroes and villains. Players will craft varying experiences by selecting a party of three from six unique characters as they embark on the adventure of a lifetime, upgrading their characters’ classes into more power forms, learning over 300 different abilities, and discovering a world of secrets and mysteries to explore.

Those who pre-purchase or purchase the physical or digital versions of the game by May 21, 2020 for the Nintendo Switch or PS4 will receive a Rabite Adornment DLC, allowing players to gain more EXP after battles up to level 10. Pre-orders of the digital version of the game from the PlayStation Store will also include an exclusive avatar set featuring the game’s six heroes, while those who pre-purchase or purchase from PC (Steam) by 21st May 2020 will include the Rabite Adornment DLC as well as an exclusive wallpaper set.

Trials of Mana Remake is coming to the PC, PS4 and Switch on April 24, 2020
