metaphor: refantazio

Metaphor: ReFantazio is an upcoming 2024 role-playing video game developed by Studio Zero and published by Atlus. It is the first original game from Studio Zero since its formation in 2016 by Persona series director Katsura Hashino, character designer Shigenori Soejima, and composer Shoji Meguro, which is scheduled to be released on 11 October 2024 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Microsoft Windows and Xbox Series X/S.
The game explores the themes of ideal and reality and takes place in a medieval fantasy world that is the "mirror" of the contemporary real world, following a non-silent protagonist who sets out on a journey to protect his kingdom while overcoming obstacles and forging bonds with companions he meets along the way.
Metaphor: ReFantazio was first announced under the codename Project Re:Fantasy in December 2016, with no more information revealed until 2023. It derives many of its gameplay mechanics from previously established Atlus role-playing games, such as turn-based combat involving the exploitation of enemy weaknesses, overworld exploration with a calendar system and light social simulation elements, and a mechanic enabling players to develop more intimate relationships with their party members outside of combat.
