Earlier this week during Nintendo Direct a remastered version has been announced of Legend of Mana that will be released on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Steam.

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 has been released in Japan in July 1999 on the PlayStation. In June 2000 the game was released in North America. It was never released in Europe.

The remastered version will feature improved visuals, a rearranged soundtrack, and the “Ring Ring Land'' mini-game which will be available to the West for the first time. It will be available digital only on 24 June 2021.

Square Enix has announced that Dragon Quest Tact is now available for free to download on Apple iOS and Android devices.

Dragon Quest Tact is a spinoff of the Dragon Quest series and is a tactical turned-based gacha game where you join forces with familiar monsters from the Dragon Quest universe to save the world of Orchesterra. The main protaganist can capture monsters by defeating them in battle with their own monster.

The game has been downloaded more than 10 million times after the release in Japan on 16 July 2020. You can download the game from the Apple Store and Google Play.

On 1 December 2020 Square Enix has trademarked Chocobo GP and Chocobo Grand Prix. Chocobo GP was trademarked in Japanese and English, Chocobo Grand Prix only in Japanese.

Could this mean a sequel to Chocobo Racing is in development? Chocobo Racing was released in 1999 on PlayStation. At E3 2010 a sequel for Nintendo 3DS was announced called Chocobo Racing 3D, but was cancelled in 2013.

In the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV Chocobo Racing is a mini-game in the Gold Saucer.
