Legend of Mana and SaGa Frontier to Release Remastered in Q2 2021

Closely following the positive announcement from Square Enix a few days ago that the Trials of Mana remake for last-generation consoles had sold over 1 million units, the developer and publisher confirmed that two more of their PlayStation 1 era JRPG classics will be headed to consoles in the second quarter of this year. Remastered versions of Legend of Mana and SaGa Frontier will be released in the coming months, with each to receive a range of new upgrades including optimized visuals and gameplay.

Launching first will be SaGa Frontier on 15 April 2021. Players will experience this role-playing adventure as one of eight heroes via the Free-Form Scenario System. Each character has their own storyline and goals, exploring the sci-fi fantasy universe known as “The Regions” in different ways while discovering unique worlds, technology, and magic. The remaster will also build upon the original title’s multiple storylines by introducing previously cut content, including Fuse’s main scenario and several new events for the character Asellus.

SaGa Frontier Remastered will be released on the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, PC (via Steam), Android and iOS gaming platforms.

Next up on 24 June 2021 is Legend of Mana, originally released on the PlayStation 1 in 1999. Stepping into the shoes of the protagonist, players will embark on a journey to find the mystical Mana Tree seen in a dream, only to discover that the world map is empty. Throughout their adventure, they will acquire special artifacts, which can be placed on the map to bring towns and dungeons to life via the Land Creation system. Players can progress through the story in different ways based on the choices they make, offering a more personal and unique gameplay experience.

Legend of Mana will come with remastered visuals, a rearranged soundtrack, and the “Ring Ring Land” mini-game which will be available to the West for the first time.

Legend of Mana will be available on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PC (via Steam) on 24 June 2021. Players who purchase Legend of Mana before July 23 will receive an early purchase reward, including ten avatars and a custom Legend of Mana theme on the PlayStation 4 or Legend of Mana Wallpaper on PC.
