This remake is a faithful retelling of the 1993 classic.

Wielding the power of Mana he joins up with a noblewoman named Primm and a sprite called Popoi to stop the evil trying to use Mana for their own terrible purposes.

While the story stays the same, the game has been completely rebuilt. Retaining top down gameplay, the Secret of Mana 3D remake has modern 3D graphics and controls. Other updates to the original include having fully voiced characters. There’s also a rearranged soundtrack that pays homage to the original and local multiplayer. Up to three players will be able to play the game together.

Those that purchase the game before release will get individual PSN avatars for Randi, Primm, and Popoi as an instant reward. Pre orders will also come with DLC costumes available at launch. Dress up all three of the main characters as adorable Moogles, or cute tigers. Take a look at the DLC costumes and avatars included in the PSN pre order in the picture below.
