Metaphor: ReFantazio Concept Video Calls to Mind Project Re Fantasy Roots

In 2016, Atlus shared a Project Re Fantasy concept video to highlight what the eventual game will involve, and now in 2024 there’s a Metaphor: ReFantazio second one to follow it. It begins with a look at the novel that the hero carries throughout the game, then discusses concepts and ideas about a “promised land.”

The new Metaphor: ReFantazio “Concept Video 2” begins with a discussion of the many tribes in the world. It then romanticizes how much better things could be if there was “one tribe.” It mentions how that would facilitate travel. From there, it discusses the use of magic. It brings up how sorcery leads to war.

After that, the “promised land” is described. It would feature megalopolises with tall glass towers, coaches (cars), and a notion that “people’s lives are all equal.” After discussing this “utopia” and “fantasy,” it suggests a hero could make things better.

Here’s the full video:

As a comparison, here is the very first Project Re Fantasy concept video teasing Metaphor: ReFantazio. It was about what the goal and idea was when developing the title.

Atlus also shared that the game’s ad appeared in Times Square in New York City.

Metaphor: ReFantazio will come to the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC on October 11, 2024. There is also a demo available.
