Atlus has been on fire lately with its Persona games and various other entries in the JRPG genre, and its next title, Metaphor: ReFantazio, has an official release date of October 11 locked in. With development being led by several Persona veterans--including director Katsura Hashino, who has led the Persona franchise through its most successful era so far--this could be the start of a major new franchise for Atlus and its publisher, Sega. If you're looking to get in on the ground floor, preorders for Metaphor: ReFantazio are live for PS5 and Xbox Series X, and there's a handsome collector's edition up for grabs that may interest longtime Atlus fans.

In case you missed the trailers, Metaphor: ReFantazio is a fantasy game in which you attempt to seize the throne after the kingdom's previous ruler is assassinated. In this land, anyone of any social class can become the next king so long as they get the people's support. Players will be able to master Archetypes, powerful abilities that transform characters into one of several classes with unique skills to use in battle, and the game uses a mix of real-time action and turn-based combat.
Similar to Persona's Social Link system, ReFantazio uses the Follower system to forge bonds with the people you meet on your journey and unlock new Archetypes to experiment with. Metaphor: ReFantazio will launch for PC, PS5, PS4, and Xbox Series X|S on October 11.
