Unveiled at the Xbox Games Showcase 2023, then getting noticed during the Game Awards of the same year, Metaphor: ReFantazio is now back with a long gameplay presentation, a trailer dedicated to the story and a release date !
The creators of Persona 3, 4 and 5 are back with a new game
There is particularly reason to be intrigued by this new production published by SEGA, since we find big names from Atlus at its head. Indeed, Katsura Hashino, having notably been the director of Persona 3, 4 and 5, once again occupies this role, while Shigenori Soejima is also back as character designer, after having notably occupied the role of artistic director on Persona 3 or Persona 4. Finally, the OST was headed by Shoji Meguro, having contributed his talents to Persona 3, 4 and 5.

Thus, the creators of Persona 3, 4 and 5 and their teams are back to give birth to a unique fantasy world. The player will have to explore this universe alongside the fairy Gallicca to lift the curse weighing on the missing prince of the kingdom.
Metaphor: What is ReFantazio?
Metaphor: ReFantazio will offer quests and treasure finding during the day, then bonding and strengthening at night. Time management will therefore be essential to achieve victory.
The exploration of the universe depicted in the game will be done thanks to the surveyor, a type of vessel capable of traveling the world. Metaphor: ReFantazio thus promises a memorable experience, in particular thanks to an audiovisual design, an interface and animated cutscenes.
Finally, the clashes will take place both turn-based and in real time, to provide strategic and exhilarating battles. The customization of the group via archetypes will be essential for the smooth running of the fights, and more generally of the adventure.
