Metaphor: ReFantazio Gets October Release Date In New Gameplay Trailer

Publisher Atlus and developer Studio Zero have released a new trailer for the upcoming fantasy RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, and it features plenty of new gameplay. It also reveals Metaphor: ReFantazio will hit PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on October 11. 

Dubbed “The King’s Trial,” this new trailer sets up a bit of the Metaphor: ReFantazio’s world more, highlighting a tournament for the king’s throne at the center of the narrative. It seems our protagonist and the friends and allies they encounter along the way are vying for a crown that others are also after. In order to claim it, players must complete trials across the lands, proving their worth.
