Review Metaphor: ReFantazio (PS5) - Brilliant, Memorable RPG Is One of Atlus' Finest Works
More than meets the eye
Spearheaded by a trio of veteran developers best known for their outstanding work on the Persona series, Metaphor: ReFantazio is the dawn of a brand new IP from Atlus. In its structure and mechanics, it feels comfortingly familiar, but in its fantastical setting and bold style — both in terms of visuals and audio — it...

News Atlus Fans Don't Think Xbox's Marketing Is Doing Metaphor: ReFantazio Justice
"Tf is metaphor?"
We've been poking fun at Atlus ever since it started steadfastly refusing to admit (in marketing material, anyway) that its imminent RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, is actually coming to PS5 and PS4 on 11th October, forcing us to do it for them. Xbox quite obviously paid for this privilege, which is fair and fine; however, some Atlus...

Fresh fantasy
Incredibly, Metaphor: ReFantazio, the next all-consuming RPG from the developers of Persona 3, Persona 4 and Persona 5, is out in just over a month, likely sinking all of our best-laid gaming plans.

Here's yet another trailer
Not content with its previous 500 trailers for Metaphor: ReFantazio, Atlus has dropped yet another look at the upcoming RPG in celebration of its presence at Gamescom 2024.

News Players Won't See Every Dungeon in Metaphor: ReFantazio, JRPG Offers a 'Lot More Freedom'
Take your time
It sounds like the upcoming Metaphor: ReFantazio will be quite the departure from recent Atlus efforts like Persona 5 or SMT V: Vengeance, with game director Katsura Hashino suggesting there is a "lot more freedom" in his high fantasy undertaking. While the central story is set in stone, how players decide to spend their limited...
News Metaphor: ReFantazio Director Explains the RPG's Lack of Persona-Style Romance
Keep it professional

Previews
Preview Metaphor: ReFantazio Won't Blow You Away in Its First Hour
An odd Gamescom demo detailed
Huge JRPGs from Atlus are at their slowest and most basic at the very beginning, so playing the first hour of Metaphor: ReFantazio at Gamescom wasn't exactly the most impressive 60 minutes we've spent with the game pre-release. Full of tutorials and cutscenes, we wouldn't have encountered a single battle if we didn't...
Preview Metaphor: ReFantazio Is Already a Contender for RPG of the Year
No metaphors here
Metaphor: ReFantazio is a lot. We were only allowed to spend around an hour with Atlus’ upcoming RPG at this years’ Summer Game Fest, but in that time, we ran into egg enemies wearing boots; we acted like an ass to our other party members; we made kebabs with one of or companions; we also fought squid Jesus which had a heart...
