[Video] Metaphor: ReFantazio Lands on Switch 2 Thursday: The 94-Metascore Award Winner Has a Free Demo With Carryover Save
ATLUS's fantasy role-playing game Metaphor: ReFantazio arrives on Nintendo Switch 2 on November 12, published by SEGA. Nintendo lists the game among its headline November releases, Nintendo and ATLUS have both released official trailers ahead of launch, and a free Prologue demo is already live on the Nintendo eShop, with save data that carries over into the full game.
The game was built by ATLUS's Studio Zero, the team behind the Persona series, and first launched in 2024 on PlayStation, Xbox and PC. Nintendo's official game page cites a Metascore of 94 and more than 50 prestigious awards, including Best RPG at The Game Awards 2024.
The story is set in the United Kingdom of Euchronia. With the prince under a curse and the king assassinated, the throne will be decided by a public Royal Tournament, and the protagonist must travel and compete while awakening the magical Archetype powers dormant in his heart. Combat blends turn-based commands with real-time action, and the calendar system splits each day between quests, dungeons and treasure hunts by day and building bonds with companions by night.
The Switch 2 version is the complete game, with no content cut. Players who want an early start can download the free demo now and pick up right where they left off when the full game launches Thursday. (Source: ATLUS)
