Metaphor: ReFantazio Launches November 12 for Nintendo Switch 2
A big surprise! Metaphor: ReFantazio, after its release in October 2024 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, has now been announced for the Nintendo Switch 2. This fantastic RPG from Atlus and Studio Zero will meet players on the next-gen Nintendo console on November 12.
In fact, this news indirectly confirms the existence of the Switch 2, which Nintendo has not yet officially announced. Metaphor: ReFantazio is a game developed under the direction of Katsura Hashino, creator of the Persona series, and has received perfect scores from critics. With its unique art style and deep story, the game managed to sell over 1 million copies in a short time.
The Switch 2 version is expected to have the same content as the versions on other platforms. However, the graphical improvements and portable gameplay advantage brought by Nintendo's new hardware could reach a wider audience. It is predicted to have a major impact on the console market, especially in Japan.
This move also shows Atlus's interest in Nintendo platforms. Previously, games like Persona 5 Royal and Persona 4 Golden came to Switch. Now, the studio's new flagship project will appear on Nintendo's next console.
For fans, this is much more than just a port announcement. The arrival of Metaphor: ReFantazio on Switch 2 signals that Atlus's big-budget RPGs will now also be part of the Nintendo ecosystem. In the coming months, an official Switch 2 announcement from Nintendo and pre-order details for the game are expected.
