Earlier today, ATLUS hosted a special developer livestream regarding their upcoming full-scale fantasy RPG Metaphor: ReFantazio. Studio Zero Director Katsura Hashino (Persona 3, 4 and 5, Shin Megami Tensei III – Nocturne) introduced the first hands-on gameplay the public has seen with a 30-minute livestream. During the stream, Hashino-san explored various segments of the game, treated viewers to an abundance of brand-new details and exciting teases, and discussed his development vision and creative inspirations.
One of the major reveals from the stream is the game’s launch date: October 11, 2024.
Hashino-san’s narrated journey brought viewers to a selection of the game’s many locales, from grand cities to underground waterways, as well the deepest dive yet into the game’s systems and characters. Key to traversing Metaphor: ReFantazio’s vast world is the Gauntlet Runner, a vehicle that doubles as the player’s home base and HQ.
In case you missed it, the full livestream VOD (dubbed and subbed in English) is available to watch here. New assets can be found here.
In Metaphor: ReFantazio, players will write their destiny and rise above fear as they step into a fantasy world unlike any other.
