"Trials of Mana Surprise Update Adds Controller Support and Achievements"

by Amelia Apr 25,2025

Square Enix continues to enhance its mobile gaming offerings, particularly with the beloved Trials of Mana, a 3D action RPG that has just received a significant update. This update introduces controller support and achievements to both the standard and Apple Arcade versions of the game, making it more accessible and enjoyable for players. With this addition, you can now use your preferred gamepad on the Apple Arcade and iOS versions, enhancing your gaming experience with more precise control.

While there's no news yet on an Android update, it's possible that it could be on the horizon. This update comes at a perfect time, especially following the release of Visions of Mana last year and its collaboration with Last Cloudia. The enthusiastic response from fans underscores a common challenge with mobile games: the often cumbersome 3D controls. Many players find these controls less than ideal, which can deter them from fully engaging with the game.

This is particularly unfortunate for the Mana series, which has long been a favorite among JRPG enthusiasts looking for something different after exploring the Final Fantasy series. While the touchpad controls are adequate for many, they remain a significant barrier for some. The introduction of controller support could be the key to drawing more players into the enchanting world of Trials of Mana.

Trials of Mana UpdateWith its stunning visuals and engaging gameplay, Trials of Mana is now more accessible than ever. Whether you choose the mainline or the plus version, this update is a welcome change that could encourage those who have been hesitant to dive into the game. As you explore the lush landscapes and familiar mechanics of Trials of Mana, the addition of controller support promises a smoother and more enjoyable experience.
