In a world where reality is overrated, ATLUS steps up to the plate with a livestream that’s more gripping than my granny’s handshake. That’s right, folks, earlier today, ATLUS decided to give us mere mortals a sneak peek at their upcoming RPG behemoth, Metaphor: ReFantazio. And let me tell you, it’s like they’ve plucked a fantasy world straight out of a daydream and slapped it onto our screens with a cheeky wink.

Studio Zero’s Director, Katsura Hashino – a man whose resume sparkles brighter than a vampire in sunlight – guided us through a 30-minute virtual tour that was so immersive, I almost forgot to breathe. We’re talking grand cities, underground waterways, and a vehicle/home base hybrid called the Gauntlet Runner that’s so cool, it makes my bicycle look like a tricycle.

Now, hold onto your hats because the launch date for this epic saga is set for October 11, 2024. Mark it in your calendars, tattoo it on your arm, carve it into your dining table – do whatever it takes to remember this date.

The Collector’s Edition is a treasure trove that would make pirates weep. It’s got everything from artbooks to soundtracks, and even metallic pins that I’m pretty sure have magical properties. And let’s not forget the Kingdom of Euchronia Cloth Map – because who needs Google Maps when you’ve got fabric?

But wait, there’s more! Pre-order incentives include an Archetype EXP Chest Set that’s so generous, it’s like finding a tenner in an old pair of jeans. And for those of you who fancy a bit of in-game affluence, there’s 30,000 Reeve up for grabs – that’s the in-game currency, not Keanu, unfortunately.

So, if you’re ready to write your destiny and rise above fear (and let’s face it, who isn’t?), then Metaphor: ReFantazio is your ticket to a world where the only limit is your imagination. And possibly your wallet.

For more information, or to pre-order the physical game or wish list the digital version, just hop on over to metaphor.atlus.com. And remember, in the world of Metaphor: ReFantazio, you’re not just playing a game – you’re living a legend.
