Visions of Mana is an action RPG developed by Ouka Works and published by Square Enix.

The reveal trailer is truly the definition of hype, starting with Val underneath the glowing Tree of Mana, and ending with an over-the-top montage of all of the elemental attacks and boss fights. One captures Val surfing over a desert with a sand spirit, another captures him wind launched into the sky, and the most tense one is where Val fights a guardian that is corrupted. More lore also seems to be hinted at, with ancient ruins and strange mana written topics hinting that the lore of the tree is not as simple as we assume.

The multi-phase boss fights are spectacle-defining and often require strategy shifts mid-battle. Traversal mechanics—like using wind spirits to glide or earth spirits for barrier smashing—transform exploration into combat. Devs clearly aim for you to feel powerful and, at the same time, feel tactical while constantly adjusting your loadout and approach. If you enjoyed the kinetic flow of combat in Tales of Arise or the elemental depth of Genshin Impact, this is sure to satisfy.

Experiencing Visions of Mana is akin to immersing oneself in a storybook that is alive and waiting to be explored, while also being filled with challenges and rewards. Every edge of the world is gently filled with magic, ranging from the way light breaks through on the campfire gatherings to the rest of the world to the moments of silence, where the party bonds deepen. It goes beyond level grinding or accumulating worthless things—from the moments and choices to the bonds and journey, it is exceptionally beautiful. If you are a long-time Mana fan or are new to the world, this game is crafted in a way that it invites you to step deep into lore, heart, and the rhythm of the world. You no longer have to wait because the launch date is fixed, so the real countdown to exploration and adventure is ready to truly begin.

What this trailer particularly wants to highlight is Visions of Mana’s combat system. The old turn-based battles are gone. Each spirit companion adds a unique twist; fire spirits enhance damage with AoE bursts, while water spirits freeze enemies mid-combo, allowing for tactical control.

Transcript
00:00That day, I accepted my fate and left my village.
00:14A person chosen to offer their soul to the goddess,
00:17an alms, must journey to the manna tree.
00:21The manna of the world is replenished through that alms sacrifice,
00:26blessing our lands with prosperity.
00:29The alms are necessary to preserve a future for the whole world.
00:33It is our duty, much as a soul guard's duty is to protect us.
00:37We all have our individual roles to play, ways of life.
00:41All of these affect the future.
00:44And I am proud to be the bearer of such an important mission for those who may come after.
00:50But I...
00:52I don't want to have to give all of this up.
00:55I want to keep living my life.
00:58And now that I've realized that,
01:00I know that what I really want is to stay here and keep making memories with you, Val.
01:06I am the soul guard.
01:19It's my duty to protect the alms from harm.
01:22Hina, any monsters we meet along our journey to the manna tree won't lay a finger on you.
01:27There's nothing you can say that'll change my mind.
01:30I'll become the alms and make you see you were wrong about me.
01:33About everything.
01:37Eterno no longer benefits from its elementals protection.
01:41Let this be a warning.
01:43Trespassing within could cost you your life.
01:45Sol guard, Val.
01:48I am counting on your protection on our journey to the tree of manna, such as it is.
01:56Alms are appointed, not requested.
01:58There's nothing I can do about this.
02:00Gosh, the fairy is taking her sweet time this year.
02:10Get ready!
02:10Come on!
02:38This now!
02:39I'll back you up!
02:50Atta girl, Rancho!
02:51A perfect opportunity to collect data.
02:54The name's Orin
03:12Until we meet again, Orin
03:15We're all counting on Mew
03:24May you safely reach your journey's end
03:27Come on, don't give up
03:30So many alms have given their souls to the Mana Tree
03:34Their strong hearts create a better tomorrow
03:39To protect the next generation
03:41We will protect the Mana Tree
03:43We will protect the entire world
