Metaphor: ReFantazio is a fantasy role-playing game set in the United Kingdom of Euchronia, where the assassination of the king leads to chaos and a royal tournament for the throne. The game's narrative centers on a protagonist from the elda tribe, accompanied by the fairy Gallica, as they seek to break a curse placed on the prince—believed dead by the kingdom. This journey requires participation in the royal tournament and forming alliances with various tribes across the land.
The game features a blend of turn-based combat with real-time action elements, allowing for party customization through "Archetype" powers. Players can explore dungeons and towns using a gauntlet runner, discover diverse landscapes, and experience anime cutscenes and a distinctive musical score. Gameplay alternates between daytime activities such as quests, dungeon exploration, and treasure hunting, and nighttime opportunities to strengthen relationships, build bonds, and increase virtues, with time management playing a key role in achieving objectives.
Metaphor: ReFantazio is developed by the creators of Persona 3, Persona 4, and Persona 5, with direction by Katsura Hashino, character design by Shigenori Soejima, and music composed by Shoji Meguro. It is rated "Teen" by the ESRB. The game is available in multiple editions, including physical and digital standard editions, a collector's edition, and a digital deluxe edition. These may include items such as a Steelbook, soundtrack, artbook, pins, sticker sheet, cloth map, downloadable content vouchers, and pre-order bonus packs.
The title is offered on several platforms: Xbox, PlayStation, Windows, and Steam for PC. There is a playable demo available, and the release date is scheduled for October 11, 2024. Metaphor: ReFantazio is published by Atlus and Sega.
