Atlus Announces Persona-Style RPG Metaphor: ReFantazio At Xbox Showcase
Atlus shocked the world with a new franchise announcement during the Xbox Showcase, revealing Metaphor: ReFantazio, a fantasy RPG that uses mechanics similar to the Persona and Shin Megami Tensei series. Metaphor: ReFantazio is coming in 2024, so fans will be waiting a while before they can explore its new world.
The Xbox Showcase & Starfield Direct lacked major announcements, especially for anything coming in 2023. Atlus would have had some of the show’s biggest reveals if it weren’t for Persona 3 Reload and Persona 5 Tactics leaking early. That’s right; two of the best reveals were accidentally leaked by Atlus’ own Instagram account ahead of the show.
