The popular Trials of Mana will officially arrive at Nintendo Switch this April 24, but the title has been in development for a long time. In fact, Square Enix revealed in an interview with Siliconera that they started working on this title even before ending Secret of Mana, and it was all thanks to the addition of producer Shinichi Tatsuke to the team.
You can find the comments below:
Shinichi Tatsuke (producer of Trials of Mana): Development started shortly before Secret of Mana was released, and took about two years.
Masaru Oyamada (series producer): When Collection of Mana was released in Japan, we received a lot of feedback from players abroad who said they also wanted to play the classic Trials of Mana, originally known as Seiken Densetsu 3. In that At the time, the release of Secret of Mana in 2018 was still in development, but we wanted to start working on Trials of Mana without leaving a huge gap in between. It was then that Tatsuke joined us, and with his help we were able to begin development.
