Metaphor: ReFantazio is set to release October 11 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. An RPG from the makers of the Persona series, Metaphor: ReFantazio is set in a magical kingdom in the aftermath of the assassination of the king. You and your team battle enemies using a mix of turn-based combat and real-time action as you fight for the future of the kingdom. The game is available to preorder now in both a standard edition and a collector's edition (see it at GameStop). Read on to see what comes in each, how much they cost, and more.
PS5
Xbox Series X|S
PC
If you want a bunch of extra bonus material, the collector's edition is the one to get. It comes with the game, plus the following:
PS5
Xbox Series X|S
PC
The standard edition retails for $69.99. It comes with the game itself, plus any applicable preorder bonuses (see below).
Preorder any edition of Metaphor ReFantazio, and you'll receive the following in-game items:
Metaphor: ReFantazio takes place in a fantastical land called the United Kingdom of Euchronia. The king has been assassinated and his successor needs to be chosen. You play as a protagonist, accompanied by your fairy friend Gallica, on a quest to lift a deadly curse from your childhood friend, who happens to be the prince of Euchronia. Along the way, you'll team up with a number of other characters who will help you in combat.
The game features a stylized interface similar to the recent Persona games. It also has what Atlus is calling an "improved version of the daily life mechanics in Persona." In other words, "Go on quests, dungeon dive, and hunt for treasures by day. Strengthen relationships, build bonds, and increase virtues by night." Sounds like it won't stray too far from the Persona template, but that doesn't seem like a bad thing. This is one of the 10 games we can't wait to play in 2024.
