Metaphor: ReFantazio is the new game by Atlus’s new development team, Studio Zero. This team comprised of developers behind Persona 3, Persona 4 and Persona 5 is tackling an all-new IP, free from the Megaten shackles, but with the same flair they have demonstrated in the mentioned three games.
Over-the-top-yet-slick UI design with bold fonts and an aesthetic, turn-based combat (though it seems you can do a flurry of attacks in real-time before the turn-based combat shows up), dialogue choices, giant portraits of characters when they’re talking, all that jazz.
Metaphor: ReFantazio has a classical fantasy theme, the English voiceovers even feature someone with a Scottish accent. And the music in the two trailers for this RPG so far has been more on the orchestral side.
Metaphor: ReFantazio will be releasing in Fall 2024, so Q4 2024. It will be available on PS4, PS5, PC (Steam, Microsoft Store), Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
