This series would receive one more handheld adventure in the form of [[Heroes of Mana]] for the DS in 2007, but a hibernation of six years until the release of [[Circle of Mana]] on March 5, 2013, for iOS and Android devices. Released only in Japan, the digital card game proved popular enough to generate interest in the series and lead to the development and release of [[Rise of Mana]] 366 days later on March 6, 2014, for mobile devices and the Playstation Vita. Rise of Mana is a free-to-play title that returned to the franchise's action-RPG roots, and was a financial success--boasting over two million players by 2015. | This series would receive one more handheld adventure in the form of [[Heroes of Mana]] for the DS in 2007, but a hibernation of six years until the release of [[Circle of Mana]] on March 5, 2013, for iOS and Android devices.
