Metaphor: ReFantazio Features Over 40 Archetypes, New Gameplay Revealed

Studio Zero’s Metaphor: ReFantazio took the stage next during the Summer Game Fest, with director Katsura Hashino talking more about the game’s Archetypes. These classes define each character, providing different abilities and playstyles for their respective characters. With over 40 Archetypes and even some evolutions to unlock, there’s plenty of choice to go around.

A new trailer is also available, teasing the game’s set-up and the player harnessing true magic to become the next ruler of Euchronia. By forming bonds with various companions, you can awaken their Archetypes for use in battle. As with Atlus’s Persona series, each Archetype has unique abilities to exploit enemy weaknesses.

Metaphor: ReFantazio launches on October 11th for Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5 and PC. You can check out more extensive gameplay and details on the RPG’s cities, dungeons, and Gauntlet Runner here. Studio Zero will showcase even more in a new livestream at 6 PM PST, so stay tuned for updates.
