Neglect Persona, Metaphor: ReFantazio is Atlus' fastest-selling recreation of all time, in addition to its most-played recreation of the yr

Atlus is clearly on to a winner with Metaphor: ReFantazio, as the sport is now the developer’s quickest promoting recreation ever.

We clearly know Atlus goes to maintain milking the Persona collection, with new numbered entries, re-releases, and spin-offs, however contemplating how nicely the utterly new Metaphor: ReFantazio is doing, I think about we’ll be seeing much more of that world too. Atlus shared earlier this week that the sport had surpassed one million items offered by the day the sport had launched – Persona 3 Reload managed to hit the identical gross sales quantity fairly shortly earlier this yr, however it took a number of days longer to achieve it. The information additionally got here with a contemporary illustration from character designer Shigenori Soejima too, if you happen to fancy looking.

It is not simply within the pace of gross sales the place Metaphor: ReFantazio is doing nicely, as on Steam numbers are wanting very wholesome. As of in the present day, the sport has hit a concurrent participant depend peak of just about 78,500 individuals (by way of SteamDB), a really wholesome determine for an enormous single-player RPG like this one. For comparability, Persona 3 Reload had a participant depend peak of 45,000, nonetheless very robust, however an entire 30,000 much less individuals than Metaphor: ReFantazio. I feel it is protected to say that this can be a new franchise for Atlus, if it is managing to do higher than a Persona recreation (even when that one was a remake).

Metaphor: ReFantazio has been reviewing extremely nicely too, together with by our personal Dom who gave it 5/5 stars, writing, “Each particular person strand weaves collectively to type one thing totally distinctive in Metaphor. It might be Atlus’ masterpiece; well-presented, well-realised, and completely unashamed to be an enormous, foolish, fantastical piece of role-playing genius. Don’t be postpone by the actual fact it isn’t sporting the Persona moniker; chances are high, if you happen to love something concerning the Persona video games, you’re going to seek out it in Metaphor – however higher. As a basis for a brand new IP, I don’t suppose the developer might have performed higher.”

You possibly can decide up Metaphor: ReFantazio on PS5, PS4, Xbox Collection X/S, and PC now.
