Atlus may have had announcements like Persona 3 Reload and Persona 5 Tactica leak beforehand, but it had a bombshell for the Xbox Games Showcase. Project Re Fantasy was revealed and re-named as Metaphor: ReFantazio. It’s releasing next year for Xbox Series X/S and PC via the Windows Store.
However, thanks to a now-deleted tweet from Sega Korea, it’s confirmed that the title is also coming to PS4, PS5, and Steam. Gematsu has a mirror to the same announcement trailer, which confirms PlayStation and Steam releases for the RPG. Considering the upcoming Persona titles were also confirmed for other platforms, it’s hardly surprising.
Almost nothing is known about Metaphor: ReFantazio, though its Xbox Store page confirms its set in “an anguished kingdom” that “stands on a precipice.” It will have players “forging bonds with friends and transforming those bonds into strength,” which doesn’t sound too dissimilar to Persona’s Social Links. In a post-reveal message shared with fans, director Katsura Hashino didn’t add much but promised a “fantasy experience unlike any other.” Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.
