Kotobukiya revealed that it will produce two new figures based on characters from Metaphor: ReFantazio, and the characters in question will be the guide fairy Gallica and the elf-like Roussainte knight Hulkenberg. No concept art for them was shown.
The company did not reveal more details about the figures, other than that they will be scaled down from the original character sizes. Kotobukiya also only showed the characters’ artwork as taken from Atlus, so it will take quite a long time until it finishes their prototypes and puts them up for pre-orders.
Kotobukiya made the announcement first at the Atlus Fes, which was held in Akihabara on June 8-9, 2024. The company has since published a Japanese tweet on its official X account, which is also available to view right below and shows official Metaphor: ReFantazio Gallica and Hulkenberg art:
Metaphor: ReFantazio is set to be Atlus’ next major release, as it is being worked on by key staff members behind Persona 3 through 5, such as the director Katsura Hashino, the illustrator Shigenori Soejima, and the composer Shoji Meguro. The company sold the first merchandise batch based on the game at the Atlus Fes. It also put up the first public demo build that has three playable modes at the physical event.
Kotobukiya will reveal more details about the Metaphor: ReFantazio figures of Gallica and Hulkenberg at a later time. Atlus will release the new fantasy RPG for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, and PC on October 11, 2024.
