Mana is a Valkean video gaming brand that consists of two video game consoles, an online service, streaming services, and home theater center. The brand was first introduced in Valkea in 2013 with the release of the Mana video game console. It is created and owned by Architect Entertainment Division, a subsidiary of Architect.
Consoles
Mana
The original Mana was released on 14 November 2013 as part of the eighth generation of consoles. It mainly competed with the NIN Next and Blast Dragon Fire. Its main feature is its modular hardware system, which allows for a degree of customizability comparable to gaming computers. Despite this, it does contain base specifications comparable to its rivals; it has an 2.7GHz 8-core Architect CPU and a 1.92 TFLOPS Sine Devices MN-101 GPU.
Mana 2
News about a second Mana console began to circulate in 2018. Architect declined to release any information until they released a financial report dated 31 June 2019, where they confirmed that next-generation hardware was in development, and that shipments would be released no earlier than August 2020.
