Metaphor: ReFantazio, the critically acclaimed RPG from the Atlus team behind the Persona series (including Persona 5 Royal), has received its first significant price drop just a month after its October 11 release. The game, nominated for Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2024 and boasting a 94 Metacritic score (the third highest of the year), has already sold over one million units.
This impressive reception makes the swift discount even more surprising. Currently, Amazon offers a 29% discount, bringing the price down to $49.99 from its original $69.99. This marks the lowest price for the game since launch.
The Xbox Series X|S digital version is also on sale via the Microsoft Store, with a 25% discount, lowering the price to $52.49. This also represents the first digital sale for the game. However, the digital PS5 version remains at full price.
While the duration of the Amazon sale is unknown, the Microsoft Store discount is confirmed to expire on December 3.
Developed by the creative minds behind Persona 3, Persona 4, and Persona 5, Metaphor: ReFantazio immerses players in a unique fantasy world. Players journey alongside the fairy companion Gallica to lift a curse afflicting the kingdom’s lost prince. The game emphasizes controlling your destiny, confronting fears, and awakening magical “Archetype” powers.
These Archetypes unlock the ability to channel and combine the strengths of unique job classes. Building a strong party and forging powerful bonds are crucial to overcoming formidable foes and uncovering the kingdom’s hidden truths.
