Anyone who fancies themselves a JRPG aficionado but hasn’t yet playedTrials of Manawould likely find it worthwhile to do so while the game is still freely accessible via PS Plus Extra and Premium. Experiencing the remake of the 1995 cult classic would also serve as apt preparation forVisions of Mana, the first new series entry in nearly 18 years, which Square Enix is scheduled to release on August 29.
In the meantime, the July 16 catalog rotation also sawPS Plus Extra introduce nine new games, includingCrisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion,Remnant 2, andSteep.DeadcraftandNo More Heroes 3are also part of the latest wave of arrivals, as areThe Jackbox Party Pack 9andTravis Strikes Again: No More Heroes Complete Edition. Sony is expected to announce next month’s additions to PS Plus Extra and Premium on August 14.
