The highly anticipated RPG Metaphor: ReFantazio received a new trailer at The Game Awards tonight.
The creators of Persona 3, Persona 4, and Persona 5 have released a brand-new trailer for their highly anticipated RPG Metaphor: ReFantazio. The game appears to combine both turn-based and action-based combat into an exciting way to take on enemies.
The anime animation style on display is very similar to that of the Persona series, which Metaphor: ReFantazio draws influence, which makes good sense given that Character Designer Shigenori Soejima (Persona 3, 4, 5), Concept Artist Koda Kazuma (NieR: Automata), Composer Shoji Meguro (Persona 3, 4, 5, Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne) and Director Katsuro Hashino (Persona 3, 4, 5, Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne) have all lent their talents to the new title.
Metaphor: ReFantazio will take place in the United Kingdom of Euchronia, which finds itself in a state of unrest after the assassination of the king brings chaos to the kingdom. The protagonist, together with his partner, the fairy Galica, must take part in the tournament for the throne in order to break the curse that has been placed on the prince that the kingdom believes to be dead. This journey will see the protagonist meet a lot of new friends and followers of the various tribes inhabiting the land.
Metaphor: ReFantazio will launch in Fall 2024 for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation4, PlayStation 5, Steam, and Microsoft Windows. Additionally, ATLUS will host a special YouTube live broadcast in Japan (Japanese language only) for the game on December 11 at 8:30pm JST / 3:30am PST, that will feature guests from the Japanese VA cast including Natsuki Hanae as Protagonist, Sumire Morohoshi as Gallica, Kensho Ono as Strohl, and Saori Hayami as Hulkenberg.
