It's only just got done with Metaphor: ReFantazio's second gameplay showcase, but Atlus has already announced a third deep dive that's scheduled for the 6th July. This upcoming broadcast will focus on the game's story, the finer details of which have remained a bit of a mystery up until this point.
"This is a story of how people must find unity to elect a new king", reads the title's official website. "Our story takes place in The United Kingdom of Euchronia, where the assassination of the king brings chaos and unrest to the land. Then, one fateful day, a magic known only to the king called the Royal Magic is invoked, and the world becomes embroiled in a royal tournament for the throne."
It continues: "In the midst of this, the protagonist, together with his partner, the fairy Galica, must find a way to break the curse that has been placed on the prince that the kingdom believes to be dead. To do so, they depart on a journey across the vast land." It's certainly an intriguing overview.
However, we are starting to feel a little hesitant about watching yet another Metaphor showcase. Based on what we've seen so far, and given Atlus' pedigree, we're pretty much sold on the RPG as is — and there's a fear that seeing more of it may just dilute the eventual experience. We're sure many of you feel the same.
Still, the fact that Atlus is hosting all these presentations shows that the company's confident in its creation.
Will you be watching more of Metaphor next month? Begin your journey for the fate of the kingdom in the comments section below.

I guess these showcases aren't for me if I'm already buying the game.
I’m already buying it Day 1 so I’m good. So pumped for a new IP in Metaphor from Atlus before Persona 6. SMT V & Metaphor combined with Persona 3 Reload makes this the year of Atlus/Sega (if we include my GOTY Infinite Wealth) 😎😎😎
I'll be eagerly waiting on this one. The story is definitely my biggest concern about this game. Hashino's games don't exactly have the best writing, the best probably being Persona 4 and Digital Devil Saga
Atlus marketing is very good at it is letting us know exactly what we are buying. Has everyone seen the deluge of information for SMTV:V these last months...its crazy
@MikeOrator I’m so pumped for SMT V:V. I played my first SMT game last year (3) and really enjoyed it for the most part. I didn’t play the original V so I’m going in very fresh thankfully
Ehhh I won't be tuning in.
I'm already sold on the game and I can't wait to pick it up in 2 years!😃
The character designs are quite lovely. I’m iffy if I’ll get this on Xbox (via game pass) or on steam to family share. I’m sold either way.
Yeah, I've stopped caring about this game.
agreed. they are overdoing it and turning the marketing into information overload. who do they think they are? s-e? (the lead-up to final fantasy xv was mind numbing).
@Porco I think they're just confident in what they've created and probably following the Elden Ring and RDR2 footsteps. These games showed a lot prior to release and still ended up wowing us. People thought they'd seen it all in the ER beta and then showing enemies like the Rune Bear in artworks etc but they still had a million things for our surprise.
@TheArt possibly, but all of us have different tolerance levels. i generally stay in the dark outside of the first gameplay reveal and it has led to more enjoyable experiences for me personally. i have all the confidence in the world that this is going to be a great game coming from the former persona team and don't need to be sold on it any further.
