Dawn of Mana (PS2 Japan) Hit the Shelves This Week

The Dawn of Mana for the PS2 hit the shelves this week in Japan. This is the first Mana sequel we have seen in 10 years. The title is also known as World of Mana , Secret of Mana 4, or Seiken Densetsu 4.  I’m particularly excited about this title considering it has been such a long time between games in the series.  I haven’t had a chance to test the game yet, but I will be playing it very soon.

Dawn of Mana Gameplay Trailer

Play-Asia: Dawn of Mana, the first true Mana sequel in a decade, reveals the origins of the legend behind the Mana Tree and the Sword of Mana. Breaking the series’ 2D mould, Dawn of Mana brings the world of Mana to three-dimensional life while preserving the atmosphere that fans have come to know and love. Players can see for themselves how vividly characters and monsters move about these new yet familiar surroundings.

This instalment of the Mana is a true action-adventure, with sweeping plains and mountains stretching as far as the eye can see. It’s a world ripe for adventure! A World of Sensation: “Touch” is the theme of Dawn of Mana’s world. You can virtually feel realistically rendered, lifelike objects.
