Geoff Keighley, the founder and presenter of The Game Awards has announced through his twitter today that Atlus’s Metaphor: ReFantazio will be available at The Game Awards.
“So there’s a LOT we can’t about in advance of this year’s show. But here’s one for you: Our friends at Atlus have something to show for Metaphor: ReFantazio at The Game Awards” Keighley tweeted.” Keighley tweeted.
Metaphor: ReFantazio is an upcoming role-playing game developed by Studio Zero and published by Atlus. It will be their first wholly original game since the studio’s establishment in 2016, and is being led creatively by director Katsura Hashino, character artist Shigenori Soejima and music composer Shoji Meguro, all of who have previously contributed to various titles in the Megami Tensei franchise.
The game takes place in a medieval European-inspired fantasy setting that is considered the “mirror” to the contemporary backdrop of the real world, and follows a non-silent protagonist who must embark on a journey to protect their kingdom, while overcoming numerous obstacles and forging alliances with many companions he meets along the way.
The game was announced under its codename, “Project Re Fantasy” in December 2016 alongside the establishment of Studio Zero, a new development team within Atlus comprised primarily of alumni who were formerly associated with P-Studio, the primary development team responsible for the modern Persona games. The game was officially unveiled in June 2023.
