Metaphor: Refantazio seeks to become a “third pillar” for Atlus and is at the finalization stage
Over the past few weeks, we have not missed large announcements and updates of the games, and one of them, in particular, caused a lot of noise – MetaPhor: Refantazio. The epic role -playing fantasy game, created by the creative leaders of Persona 3, 4 and 5, is positioned as the next large ATLUS franchise, and fans of the Japanese company are looking forward to its exit.
In a recent interview uploaded by Atlus, the director of Katsura Khosino said that the team of developers of fantasy role -playing play hopes that the game will become "the third pillar" For Atlus along with Persona and Shin Megami Tensei.
After the worldwide success of Persona 5, I think, many people think about Shin Megami Tensei or Persona when they recall the two largest RPG ATLUS franchises. We wanted to create a third support for the studio with this game, creating a large -scale epic role -playing game in the style of fantasy, which we had never done before.
Of course, the expectation of this moment was long: for the first time the game was announced as Project re Fantasy back in 2017. However, Atlus said that the launch of a fantasy role -playing game is scheduled for 2024 – although it is likely that it will have time to go out at this time?
According to the gamer director, this is quite likely. In a recent interview uploaded by Atlus, after the story about the plot and setting of the game, as well as how it combines fantasy setting and modern aesthetics, Khosino also presented brief information about the development of the game, confirming that the Studio Zero development team is currently located In the process of finalizing the game.
As we continue to polish the game, we will disclose new information. "Please look forward to new news from us.
This, of course, is a rather brief information about the development, but, given the fact that Studio Zero switched to the development stage when it is focused on polishing the game, we can assume that the main part of the development cycle has already been completed. Let’s hope that this means that the game will really be able to exit in 2024, as expected.
When this happens, Metaphor: Refantazio will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4 and PC.
