The mysterious World of Mana title appears (in trailer form at least) at Square-Enix Party 2005!

First mentioned early last year and later confirmed to be heading to the DS, as well as other platforms, World of Mana has now been shown off in CG trailer form. The trailer focused on the massive Tree of Mana, and teased: "A grand tale that begins with the Mana Tree will unravel before you."

Press material from the event hinted a little further yet still remained secretive: "The Legend Lives On. Epic new tales in the Mana series are in the midst of being spun. From past to present, and on to the future, the Mana series continues to evolve. Glimpse the many facets of the World of Mana through a multitude of platforms -- glimpses that will soon unfold into an unforgettable fantasy experience. The day you can next step into the world of Mana is drawing near."

It has been confirmed the game will centre on the Mana Tree and also a Holy Sword. Interestingly, it was mentioned that rather than there being just one game, there will be multiple titles across multiple platforms, and more intriguingly - multiple genres.

Square-Enix is set to reveal more soon, so keep it here to find out the latest!
