Update #3: The playable demo for Metaphor: ReFantazio is out everywhere now, letting everyone get a taste for the RPG's early hours. And, as previously reported, your progress will carry over to the full release. What's not to like?
Update #2: The demo for Metaphor: ReFantazio is indeed happening; it's now available in Asia, and we're sure other territories will follow in due course.
The demo comprises the beginning of the game, and if you play it, your progress will carry over to the full game when it launches in October.
Original Story: Atlus is set to release a playable demo for upcoming RPG Metaphor: ReFantazio. While there hasn't been an official announcement at the time of writing this article, the company's South Korean arm basically confirmed that the demo is imminent through a now removed social media post. We will, of course, update this story as soon as the demo actually arrives.
It'll be interesting to see what the demo covers. Atlus' RPGs are often notoriously slow to start, and so throwing players straight into the title's opening crawl might not leave the best impression. Having said that, it all depends on how long the demo ends up being; a few hours of content could certainly hook potential buyers. Metaphor has always looked incredibly promising, so here's hoping that the demo delivers.
