Among all the big announcements from the Game Awards, you may have missed the return of one of the great video game sagas, namely the Mana series. During the ceremony, Square Enix officially announced Visions of Mana, the first new episode for the franchise in over fifteen years.. If the license is best known for Secret of Mana, this new adventure will indeed be in 3D, still with action role-playing gameplay. If we already knew that the title was planned for PC, PS4, PS5 and Xbox Series, it could even be available in Xbox Game Pass upon launch according to this leak.

A sign of reconciliation between Square Enix and Microsoft?
According to a Microsoft Store leak, Visions of Mana would be available on launch day in Xbox Game Pass. This is also what the source code of the Xbox site as well as that of Google in connection with the game sheet seems to indicate. For the moment, the title is planned for summer 2024, without further details. If this were confirmed by Square Enix and Microsoft, it would demonstrate a real reconciliation between the Japanese publisher and the American manufacturer. We had already seen this with the presence of Phil Spencer during the Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival in Las Vegas, which announced the release of the game on Xbox in the years to come.
If Visions of Mana is ultimately available in Xbox Game Pass, it wouldn’t be surprising. Recently, we remember that the game was present during the Xbox Developer_Direct 2024 with the broadcast of a making of on the creation of the title. Inside, we can see Kōichi Ishii, the strong man of the license, explaining the inspirations and intentions behind the development of this unpublished episode in more than fifteen years. Enough to make the release of this new adventure even more important. In any case, response this summer to get your hands on the title.
