News: JRPG fans on Xbox will finally be able to get their hands on two titles from the popular Mana franchise and they are available on Game Pass.

Square Enix made their presence felt during the Xbox Showcase at the Tokyo Game Show this week. In addition to the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster collection, Square Enix also revealed that Legend of Mana and Trials of Mana are now also available on Xbox platforms. They revealed another surprise when they said both of these are now available on Game Pass, so members can download and play them for free.

Legend of Mana

Legend of Mana is the remastered edition of the fourth installment in the Mana series. In Legend of Mana, 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, players will acquire special artifacts, which can be placed on the map to bring towns and dungeons to life via the unique Land Creation system. Legend of Mana features remastered visuals and rearranged soundtrack, which can be switched with original soundtrack. The game also includes the feature to turn off enemy encounters and the ‘Ring Ring Land’ mini game, which helps to strengthen pet monsters. During their travels, players will encounter a colorful cast of characters, square off against fearsome monsters in real-time combat and explore the vast world of Fa’Diel, all while experiencing Legend of Mana’s timeless story.

Trials of Mana

Originally released in Japan as Seiken Densetsu 3 in 1995, Trials of Mana is a full, high-definition remake of the third entry in the classic Mana series. The game 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 powerful forms, learning over 300 different abilities, and discovering a world of secrets and mysteries to explore.

People have been wanting Square Enix to release more games on Xbox and now we might be finally getting to that point where Square no longer ignores the Xbox community. Will you download and play Legend of Mana or Trials of Mana or perhaps both?
