Metaphor: ReFantazio Teases Special Announcement, & Fans Have Some Compelling Theories

by

It’s hard to believe, but it’s almost been a year since *Metaphor: ReFantazio* came out! From Atlus, the creators of the popular *Persona* series, *ReFantazio* received a lot of praise last year, winning awards like Best Roleplaying Game and Best Narrative at The Game Awards. Now, Atlus is planning a big livestream to celebrate the game’s first anniversary, and it sounds like they have some exciting news to share with fans.

The one-year anniversary livestream for *Metaphor: ReFantazio* is happening on October 10th at 9 PM Pacific Time (12 AM Eastern Time on October 11th). Atlus announced the event on X (formerly Twitter), and fans are excited to speculate about what big news might be revealed. Given Atlus’s history, there are some interesting theories and a lot of anticipation.

Fans Hope to See Switch 2 Port for Metaphor: ReFantazio

Similar to other large role-playing games released recently, *Metaphor: ReFantazio* isn’t available on the Nintendo Switch. It’s currently playable on PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. However, with the new Switch 2 demonstrating its powerful capabilities and attracting interest from developers of major RPGs, many fans are hoping Atlus will soon announce a version of *Metaphor: ReFantazio* for the Switch 2.

As a Switch gamer, I’m really hoping we see *ReFantazio* on the Switch 2! It feels possible, especially now that *Persona 3 Reload* is confirmed to be coming to the new console. Atlus already brought a lot of *Persona* games to Switch, so a port of *ReFantazio* feels like a pretty safe bet. I’m tuning into their anniversary livestream hoping to hear some news about it – there have been rumors floating around for a while now, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

Some believe a deluxe version of the game might be coming, following a pattern established by Atlus with titles like *Persona 5: Royal*. These enhanced editions usually appear a few years after the original release and include improvements, new features, or extra content. While a year might be soon for a *Metaphor: ReFantazio Royalstyle release, announcing it now for a launch in a year or two would be consistent with Atlus’s past practices. However, many fans are hoping the special announcement is something more substantial than just an upgraded version of the game.

Fans are hoping Atlus will announce downloadable content for *Metaphor: ReFantazio*. With the game nearing its one-year release date, many players have completed the story, and a new story expansion would be greatly appreciated. While past *Persona* game DLC often focused on cosmetic items, new story content is still possible. *Metaphor* is a different game, and might not follow the same DLC pattern as the *Persona* series.

Fans are eagerly anticipating the October 10th livestream for *Metaphor: ReFantazio*, where Atlus will finally reveal more details about the game. You can watch the announcement live on the official Atlus YouTube channel.
