New Gameplay Trailer Reveals ReFantazio’s October Release Date

Publisher Atlus and developer Studio Zero have released a new trailer for the upcoming fantasy RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, and it features plenty of new gameplay. It also reveals Metaphor: ReFantazio will hit PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on October 11. 

Dubbed “The King’s Trial,” this new trailer sets up a bit of the Metaphor: ReFantazio’s world more, highlighting a tournament for the king’s throne at the center of the narrative. It seems our protagonist and the friends and allies they encounter along the way are vying for a crown that others are also after. In order to claim it, players must complete trials across the lands, proving their worth.

As you can see, Metaphor: ReFantazio continues to look excellent, with its Persona inspirations on full display. That’s not surprising, though, considering Studio Zero is composed of various leads from Atlus’ popular Persona series, including the latest in the franchise, Persona 5. 

If you’ve played Persona 5 Royal, or even the recently released Persona 3 Reload, then you know we’re likely in for a treat when it comes to a few things: combat, narrative, and art. And if this new look at the game’s menu are any indication, the Persona team has been cooking something special for Metaphor: ReFantazio. 

The trailer also reveals Metaphor: ReFantazio will get a special Collector’s Edition for $149.99. The game’s standard release will cost $69.99.

Here’s what the Collector’s Edition looks like: 

Metaphor: ReFantazio hits PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on October 11, 2024.
