Metaphor: ReFantazio demo seemingly on the way
Available now in Asia.
A demo for Metaphor: ReFantazio, Atlus' forthcoming epic RPG, is seemingly on the way across PlayStation, Xbox and PC.
At present, the demo is live in Korea and Hong Kong, though there's currently no schedule for its release in the West.
According to the description for the Hong Kong Xbox listing, the Metaphor: ReFantazio - Prologue Demo includes the opening of the game, with saved data carrying over to the full release.
The full game will be released across Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PS4, and PC (Steam, Microsoft) on 11th October.
As such, this demo will allow players to complete the game's opening early and make a head start on its lengthy story.
According to director Katsura Hashino (interviewed by Spanish site Vandal), the game's length is comparable to that of Persona 5 - that means potentially over 100 hours to see the story through.
Might as well get cracking on that demo now, then, eh?
I went hands-on with Metaphor: ReFantazio last month and while it uses much of Persona's DNA, it has a high fantasy setting all its own.
