Metaphor: ReFantazio News

The World Tour Hits Asia and Europe!

All summer long, we've been on a world tour bringing Metaphor: ReFantazio to fans. In early July, our gauntlet runner landed at Anime Expo, where we held the first public demo in North America.

More recently, our travels have taken us across Asia, showing off the game to fans in Tokyo at ATLUS Fes, Shanghai at BilibiliWorld 2024, Manila at Philippine GameDev Expo, and Taipei at the Comic Exhibition. Thank you to everyone we've met along the way!



This week the road trip hits Europe, where we're setting up at gamescom in Cologne, Germany. This is an opportunity for attending fans to get hands-on with the demo, take a photo in front of the Seeker statue, and leave with a tote bag!



For those at home, we didn't want to leave you empty-handed: Check out our latest trailer, as we invite you to "Travel Beyond Fantasy" with us.
