Next year will bring the highly-anticipated remake of Secret of Mana to PlayStation 4, presenting the game with vastly improved visuals and mechanics to bring the beloved Secret of Mana into the modern age. While it was previously revealed that the game would be getting a digital-only release through the PlayStation Store, it has now been revealed that those who prefer physical copies will have a chance to grab one.
Square Enix has announced that Secret of Mana PS4 will be getting a physical edition, though it will be in limited quantities and only through specific retailers. GameStop will carry them in the United States, EB Games will carry them in Canada and Latin America will have them at participating retailers.
Those who pre-order the game will be getting the “Moogle Suit” character costume for Randi, Primm and Popoi, as well as the “Tiger Two-Piece” for Primm and the “Tiger Suit” for Randi and Popoi.
There will be brand new features for players to look forward to in the upcoming remake, and they are the following:
- Co-op multiplayer – one of the main things we’ve been asked since we announced the remake is whether or not co-op would return, and I’m glad to announce that yes, it will! The Secret of Mana remake will let you play offline multiplayer co-op with up to two other players, so get your friends together!
- Multiplayer update – we’re not just adding multiplayer, but actually improving it too – now when one player casts magic all other players will be able to continue playing, without having to wait.
- The music – the Secret of Mana remake is going to come with a brand new rearranged soundtrack, but for those of you who loved the original (or just want a trip down memory lane) we’re going to include the soundtrack from the original game too, and most importantly, you’ll be able to switch between them whenever you like!
- Interlude episodes – these are brand-new to the remake and show all-new scenes and interactions between Randi and the friends he meets on his adventure.
- Game log – now you’ll be able to look back at Randi’s adventure to remind yourself of the story so far from the game log. If I don’t play a game for a few days I often forget what last happened, so I’m going to find this particularly useful and I hope you will too.
- Achievements – if you want (and manage) to take on every challenge in Secret of Mana then you’ll probably want to be able to show off how well you’ve done, and now you’ll be able to!
The Secret of Mana remake will launch for PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita and PC on February 15th.
