Metaphor ReFantazio is a new game from the Persona creators
UPDATE: Also coming to PC and PlayStation consoles.
UPDATE 20/6/23: Atlus has confirmed that Metaphor ReFantazio, revealed at the Xbox Games Showcase, will also be released on PC (Steam), PS4 and PS5.
Along with the news, the development team has released a new interview video with fresh details about the game.
Metaphor ReFantazio will be the third pillar of the company's output, alongside the Persona and Shin Megami Tensei games. It will differentiate itself with a high fantasy setting - a first for the developer - but it will still have something to say about contemporary society. Modern elements will also add a unique twist to the fantasy setting.
Additionally, the central theme of the game will be "face your fear".
For more on the game's development - its painterly artstyle and spiritual musical score - and to see some extra footage, check out the full interview below.
ORIGINAL STORY 11/6/23: Atlus and the creators of the Persona series revealed its next game at the Xbox Games Showcase: Metaphor ReFantazio.
The game features an anime style familiar to fans of Persona and Shin Megami Tensei, but an all-new setting and characters.
It's more dramatic, however, with a seemingly sprawling map. Check out the trailer below.
The trailer also shows glimpses of a calendar structure, turn-based combat with familiar spell names, and character bonds.
Expect flashy bosses and even flashier menus.
The game is set for release in 2024 on both Xbox consoles and Windows PC.
The reveal comes alongside two other Persona games: a remake of Persona 3 and a Persona 5 tactics game.
