Trials of Mana Exits PlayStation Plus Lineup Ahead of New Release

Trials of Mana is among five titles bidding adieu to PlayStation Plus this August, just before the highly anticipated release of Visions of Mana.


Last Chance to Play

The 'Last chance to play' collection on Sony's PlayStation Plus catalogue currently features these five games:


NBA 2K24 Kobe Bryant Edition

Slam dunk your way through epic basketball battles before it leaves on August 20th.


Need for Speed Unbound

Burn rubber and outrace your rivals in this high-octane driving adventure while you still can.


SpellForce 3 Reforced

Dive into this dynamic blend of RPG and RTS gameplay before it goes poof from the service.


Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed

Have a blast (literally) in this quirky alien invasion game before it vanishes like an abducted cow.


Trials of Mana

Embark on a fantastical journey in this beloved action RPG before it departs to make room for Visions of Mana.


Departure Date

All five games will leave PlayStation Plus on 20th August, so you might want to squeeze in some playtime before they're gone.




Ah, Come On! Why Trials of Mana Leaving PlayStation Plus Sucks

Trials of Mana and several other games are about to bid adieu to PlayStation Plus in August. With Visions of Mana looming on the horizon, fans have mixed feelings. Let's dive in and see why this stings a bit.


What’s Leaving and When?

First off, let me list the unlucky titles: NBA 2K24 Kobe Bryant Edition, Need for Speed Unbound, SpellForce 3 Reforced, Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed, and of course, Trials of Mana. August 20th is the big day when they’ll be swallowed by the void.


Why Should We Care?

These aren’t just any games leaving the service. Each one brings something unique to the table. But, let's focus on the gem here— Trials of Mana.


This Ain’t Just Nostalgia

For old-school RPG lovers, Trials of Mana isn’t just a game; it’s a piece of history. Originally a 1995 Super Famicom release, it finally got its well-deserved remake in 2020. Taking this out of PlayStation Plus feels like ripping pages out of an RPG history book. And hey, no one likes a book with missing pages.


The Future: Visions of Mana

Alright, so Visions of Mana is the new kid on the block. Fans are hyped, but that doesn’t mean we’re ready to give up on Trials of Mana just yet. It’s like trading your high school bestie for a college buddy; sure, the new guy’s cool, but the old one’s got history.


What Can We Do?

Grab Them While You Can

First off, if you haven’t played these games, especially Trials of Mana, you better hop to it. These gems are available until August 20th. So, go on a binge-worthy RPG marathon before they disappear.


Stay in the Loop

Keep your eye on upcoming releases and shifts in the PlayStation Plus catalog. Sony’s always moving and shaking, so it pays to stay informed. Maybe check out Eurogamer for updates.


Final Thoughts

Honestly, it sucks to see Trials of Mana go. It’s a classic that really deserved a longer stay. But hey, there's always something to look forward to. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that Visions of Mana brings the same magic.


So, what’s your take? Are you grabbing these games before they vanish, or have you already moved on? Let me know!
