Press release:
IRVINE, Calif. – November 13, 2026 – ATLUS has launched the award-winning fantasy RPG Metaphor: ReFantazio on the Nintendo Switch 2. In addition, all previously released platforms are permanently discounted to the new low price of 39.99 EUR (for the base game).

Metaphor: ReFantazio is a critically acclaimed fantasy RPG from ATLUS, developed by a team led by director Katsura Hashino, character designer Shigenori Soejima and composer Shoji Meguro. Players must rise above fear as they enter a vast fantasy world that is fraught with unsettling mystery. Thrust into a kingdom on the precipice of ruin, players will need to overcome obstacles and forge bonds with allies in order to control their destiny.

The RPG was one of the most critically acclaimed games of 2024, with a 94 Metacritic score and The Game Awards wins for Best Role-Playing Game, Best Narrative and Best Art Direction.

Players on the Nintendo Switch 2 can choose between “Performance,” “Balanced,” and “Graphics” modes, letting them prioritize performance, graphics, or a balance of both while playing.

Performance: Prioritizes a more stable frame rate by lowering the rendering resolution.
Balanced: Provides a balance between visual quality and frame rate.
Graphics: Prioritizes visual fidelity for a richer, more detailed presentation.
*The frame rate may decrease depending on in-game conditions.

Both Handheld Mode and TV Mode have been optimized to deliver a smooth gameplay experience and are designed to maintain a stable frame rate of 30 FPS or higher under normal conditions.
*This feature is available in the full version only and cannot be changed in the demo version.

In addition, a free Prologue demo is currently available across all platforms, inviting prospective players to enter Metaphor: ReFantazio’s world and get a substantial taste of the early-game narrative. Progression from the demo carries over to the full version, so players can preserve the bonds they built during their first steps in the United Kingdom of Euchronia.

Metaphor: ReFantazio is also available on Xbox Series X|S, Windows, Steam, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. A SteelBook Edition (Physical) is available across all platforms. For more information and to find where to buy, visit https://www.sega.com/metaphor/metaphor-refantazio.
