Echoes of Mana is now available for pre-download ahead of its global launch. It’s a little unclear if there will be separate servers for the game, but you can at least get ready to find out. The announcement on Twitter does not indicate an exact time of the servers going live, so stay tuned for that.
While you’re getting the Echoes of Mana pre-download, there will be livestreams in both English and Japanese. The Japanese stream will be happening 26 April 2022, 20:00 JST, while the English one will be a post-launch occasion on 29 April 2022, 18:00 PT.
At time of writing, the game has achieved over 1 million pre-registrations, zooming past the original 300,000 milestone. As such, rewards that all players will be receiving are:
- 50,000: 800 x Spirit Crystal
- 100,000: 900 x Spirit Crystal
- 150,000: 3-star Primm (Boomerang)
- 200,000: 1000 x Spirit Crystal
- 300,000: 4-star Memory Gem illustrated by HACCAN
- 500,000: 4-star Knitwit Icon
- 750,000: 4-star Benevodon Spirit Icon
- 1,000,000: 100 x Awakening Orb
English fans did not end up getting a closed beta test, but at least the game is coming out in short order. If you accessed the Japanese closed beta test, you’ll want to uninstall the client before you get the launch version. You can check out our impressions of the Japanese closed beta test here to see what you can expect.
UPDATE 26 APRIL 2022, 17:42: The game has three servers for the worldwide client: Americas, Europe or Other, and Asia Pacific. You are unable to change your server, and cannot play with players who’ve chosen other regions. Going by the maintenance notice, you may expect servers to go live on 27 April 2022, 15:00 JST.
