Eager fans can pre-register for Trials of Mana on their mobile devices beginning today through the App Store and Google Play. The mobile version of the title boasts several unique features, including revamped touch controls, customizable graphics settings and cloud save capabilities. Players can also receive two useful pieces of starting gear to help jumpstart their quest: the Rabite Adornment, which increases the amount of experience gained in battle until level 17, and the Silktail Adornment, which increases the amount of lucre gained in battle until level 17.

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, filled with unforgettable adventure, exciting gameplay, and a memorable cast of vibrant characters. The game features a selectable main cast with upgradable classes and over 300 different abilities to learn as they discover a world of secrets and mysteries. The series' dynamic action battle system will put players to the test as they evade enemies and unleash aerial and combo attacks. The game was praised by fans and critics alike upon its release on the Nintendo Switch, PS4 and Steam platforms for its accessible gameplay, traditional JRPG feel and beautiful fantasy visuals.
