Atlus’ new fantasy-meets-Persona RPG launches in October

Metaphor: ReFantazio is the inscrutable name for Atlus’ next RPG project. The company launched a new trailer and a 30-minute video introducing players to the story, gameplay, and social elements of the game, and at first blush, it looks pretty damn intriguing. Check out the gameplay video below. Metaphor: ReFantazio is an action RPG from Studio Zero, a new internal studio spun up in 2016 and headed by Katsura Hashino.

Weaker enemies you can kill in one blow without the need to slow down the game with turn-based fighting. But for tougher opponents, you can attack them to weaken them and gain the element of surprise before calling in your party members to finish them off in turn-based combat. Based on the video, it looks like Atlus is remixing Persona-style combat with an action RPG twist that looks pretty interesting. Another element Atlus shared was the game’s social activities.
