Gamers can grab one of the biggest August releases for free – no subscription required
THERE are a number of big games coming out in August, but our wallets are still struggling after all the excellent releases that came out in the first half of 2024.
While everyone is giddy about the upcoming release of Star Wars Outlaws, there’s another huge franchise that will receive a new entry.
Visions of Mana is the first game to be released from the mainline Mana series since Dawn of Mana for the PlayStation 2.
It has been developed as a love letter to players’ favourite game from the series, Secret of Mana, bringing back a number of popular features.
The Ring Menu is making a return, but the new entry is the biggest game yet, with an open world for people to explore.
It also features many of the hallmarks of the series like real-time battles with three party members and elemental magic.
