Whatever your attitude toward Atlus’ Persona series might be, the developer’s new game should be in your sights for the 2024 Fall season.

Instead of being metaphysical urban fantasy about teen who have had enough of adults messing things up, Metaphor: ReFantazio changes things by instead taking place in a completely fantastical world. The other stuff remains more or less accurate, though, why fix what isn’t broken?

The story involves a kingdom thrown into disarray after the last kind passed away due to unnatural causes and the crowned prince was cursed by the usurper.

Now it’s on you to help fix this mess by saving the prince and taking part in a political popularity contest. Thankfully you’ll not only find staunch allies, but also access powerful Archetypes, making you a force to be reckoned with.

Metaphor: ReFantazio

Premise aside, M:R is an RPG with a heavy emphasis on social elements, time management, and stylish turn-based battles, not unlike the onces from the Persona series.

Having launched on October 11th, it already sits at over 2000 reviews (over 90% of which are positive) on Steam alone, with thousands of people playing.
