ReFantazio Updates Platform with Cutting-edge Enhancements

Metaphor: ReFantazio receives Update 1.11, enhancing menu navigation and addressing PC-specific bugs. This update follows the game's phenomenal success since its October 2024 release, achieving record-breaking sales and critical acclaim, solidifying its position as a leading RPG.

Initially unveiled in 2016 as Project Re:Fantasy, Metaphor: ReFantazio's million-copy launch day sales marked a milestone for Atlus. The game, set in the medieval fantasy world of Euchronia and centered on a boy's quest to become king, has garnered numerous Game of the Year awards and a perfect 100 score on OpenCritic.

Update 1.11 streamlines gameplay with improved menu navigation across all platforms. Players can now adjust battle formations and swap party members from both the main and equip menus. A new jump function on the item screen allows for quicker access to specific items. PC players benefit from additional bug fixes addressing camera control, frame rate inconsistencies, and controller responsiveness.

Speculation regarding a sequel is rife, fueled by the game's overwhelming popularity. Director Katsura Hashino, while confirming no immediate plans, expressed his ambition to establish Metaphor as a major JRPG franchise alongside Persona and Shin Megami Tensei.

While a sequel remains unannounced, anticipation is high, particularly with the upcoming ninth anniversary of Persona 5. Many believe that announcing a Persona 6 title would capitalize on Metaphor: ReFantazio's success and maintain Atlus's current momentum.
