Metaphor ReFantazio Releases October 11
Looks like Atlus is almost ready to release Metaphor ReFantazio, the fantasy RPG from the creators of Persona. The game was given an Ocrober release date and a new trailer this afternoon.
In case you’ve been wondering why there hasn’t even been a hint of Persona 6 in years, it’s because we’re getting this instead. The presentation and aesthetic feels a lot like Persona and so do the battle mechanics. Socializing with NPCs is also said to be an important part of the game (just like Persona). The only major difference is the setting, trading Persona’s more modern locale for a series of fantastical areas.
The king is dead. Long live….who? Maybe it’ll be you. The throne is up for anyone to take, provided they can make a good enough impression to voters. This, of course, is easier for the rich and aristocratic than it is for your lower-class character, who will have to travel all over the country drumming up support. One way to earn a lot of favor is to find a way to cure a cursed prince, who is introduced in the opening cinematic. There are a central series of tasks you must perform within the time you’re given, but plenty of side quests to choose from.
The annoying thing about Metaphor ReFantazio is that you’ll need an XBox to play it — it’s exclusive to the system. It will also be on PC, if you have the hardware to exploit that loophole (hopefully it will work on Steam Deck). A new trailer and 25-minute gameplay overview was released today, which you can watch below and decide if it’s for you. Metaphor ReFantazio comes out October 11 for Microsoft products.
