A reliable insider from Sega has shared promising news about the upcoming Metaphor: ReFantazio by Atlus, confirming its smooth progress towards a Fall release without any delays. This fresh IP from Atlus boasts a team that previously worked on the renowned Persona series, promising a unique high-fantasy world unlike the urban setting of Persona. While Metaphor: ReFantazio offers a distinct gameplay experience compared to Persona, it retains familiar elements like social simulation and dungeon exploration.

Initially revealed at the Xbox Games Showcase in June with a target launch in Spring 2024, a subsequent trailer at The Game Awards 2023 announced a delay pushing the release to Fall 2024. Delays are common in the industry, but according to a trustworthy Sega source, the game seems on track for its Fall 2024 release without further disruptions.

The information stems from Midori, a reliable leaker renowned for accurate insights on Sega and Persona titles throughout 2023. Responding to a query on the game's development status, Midori cryptically stated, "Metaphor will not be delayed," hinting at a potential release within the anticipated Fall 2024 timeframe.

The Potential Release Date of Metaphor: ReFantazio

Despite the absence of an official launch date, Midori leaked a possible release date for Metaphor: ReFantazio. Reports from the Microsoft Store in Hong Kong indicated an October 12 release date for the game. While this date aligns with the Fall 2024 window, its specificity raises curiosity. If Midori's leaks hold true, fans might mark October 12 for the game's debut.

Midori also hinted at a post-launch plan for Metaphor: ReFantazio, suggesting a release for the Nintendo Switch successor alongside Persona 3 Reload. Despite Midori's track record, fans are advised to await official confirmation from Atlus or Sega regarding the game's official launch date.
