Last year, in a surprise reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, Atlus revealed an upcoming new IP to the world. That being Metaphor ReFantazio, a stylish yet gritty new RPG from the team that created Persona. It was unveiled alongside the remake of Persona 3 Reload. As well as Persona 5 Tactica. However, prior to the showcase, both of these titles were leaked accidentally by Atlus themselves on social media. Metaphor itself may have not been leaked, but its release date may have, as the game went up on Steam, Xbox and PlayStation stores for people to wishlist.
When is Metaphor ReFantazio Releasing?
This leak comes directly from a user on Reddit by the name “Judge_Preacher” in the Shin Megami Tensei subreddit. When going to his recently viewed games on Xbox, you can see the ratings for games, and Metaphor ReFantazio being one of those games may have shown its release date. That being October 11th of this year.
As the game is slated for launch in the fall of this year, no official date was given by Atlus yet. So, take this with a grain of salt as release dates can always fluctuate and may have been a placeholder. But the date falls on a Friday, which a lot of big games tend to launch on. This would mean the new IP from Atlus is only 7 months away launch. There should be a new trailer for Metaphor ReFantazio at the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase sometime this summer.
Currently going to its page on the Xbox store does not have this date, so it may have been a bug or glitch with the storefront. But I have tried on my own console and have not yielded the same result. Games on the Xbox store can usually be listed for the middle of the day of that titles launch. As well as being listable for the day prior for a near midnight launch. If you would like to see the post yourself, you can do so here. There is also more evidence from Twitter user “MbKKssTBhz5“. Who discovered a different listing with a different date.
【Metaphor】
It is possible the release date for Metaphor: ReFANTAZIO is October 11, 2024.
The Hong Kong wishlist page lists the release date for October 12. But sometimes the listings can be have a mistake where it is wrong by one day.https://t.co/BS3LlgxumD pic.twitter.com/KJHdX2auSR
