ATLUS has released the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Metaphor: ReFantazio at its new low price of $39.99. The Metaphor: ReFantazio Orchestral Album is also streaming now on digital music platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music, and to celebrate the game’s launch on Switch 2, character designer Shigenori Soejima released a new illustration.
Metaphor: ReFantazio is currently available across Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store. A Steelbook Edition for the Nintendo Switch 2 version is also available at retail for $49.99 for a limited time. The digital Guidebook Edition is also available $49.99 alongside the digital ATLUS 35th Anniversary Edition for $69.99.
On Nintendo’s platform, Metaphor: ReFantazio features Performance, Balanced, and Graphics modes. Performance lowers the rendering resolution for a more stable frame rate, Balanced offers a balance between visual quality and frame rate, and Graphics prioritizes visual fidelity with potential frame drops. Handheld and docked gameplay has been optimized to deliver a stable 30 FPS or higher.
The Metaphor: ReFantazio “Prologue” demo is available now in the Nintendo eShop worldwide. Save data from the demo carries over to the full game. In terms of content, the demo contains the first four dungeons, the ability to unlock seven of the 40+ Archetypes, and six followers, including party members. The demo features a Balanced graphics pre-set by default without the ability to change to Performance or Graphics modes.
Final Weapon reviewed Metaphor: ReFantazio for Nintendo Switch 2 and gave a 4.5/5 score, noting that the game features an “award-winning story, turn-based gameplay, and dozens of hours of content, all of which is preserved and enjoyable in this portable version.”
SuperGroupies will release new merchandise for Metaphor: ReFantazio, including a custom pocket watch and AirPods Pro 2 case. Pre-orders are now open through December 6.
