Legendary Persona developer Atlus is hosting yet another exclusive Metaphor: ReFantazio showcase with a new look at the JRPG - and it's coming later this week after Summer Game Fest.
Following Metaphor's first big showcase and release date reveal back in April, we learned a bit about Atlus' upcoming JRPG. From its stellar character design to its stunning menus and UI, the fantastical game sees us battling our own anxiety and offers a perfect medieval spin on the beloved Persona formula. While it isn't actually a Persona spin-off itself or even related to Atlus' longtime series, many of Metaphor's mechanics draw inspiration from the franchise - think social bonding, turn-based combat, and other such features.
Hashino will lead the second showcase this week as he did the first, with "more to share about Metaphor: ReFantazio" then. For now, console players can pre-order physical copies of the game via Atlus and opt to get either the standard edition or the collector's version which boasts all sorts of goodies including a cloth map, shiny Steelbook, sticker sheet, and access to costume-related DLC. Fans hoping to snag digital copies will have to wait, though, with Atlus saying that such pre-orders are "to be announced at a later time."
