An upcoming Metaphor: ReFantazio stream will show 30 mins of gameplay footage

A new gameplay trailer released for Mortal Kombat 1 shows upcoming DLC character Homelander in action.

The Steam version of Helldivers will soon require all players to sign in with a PlayStation Network account.

Game streaming platform Streamlabs has released an official plugin for Open Broadcaster Software (OBS).

Bandai Namco has revealed who will be the second DLC character in Tekken 8, along with news of free updates coming throughout the year.

Players who previously redeemed the PlayStation 4 version of Fallout 4 will have to wait a little longer for its free next-gen upgrade, Bethesda says.

Blizzard has announced that it will not be holding a BlizzCon event this year.

Metaphor: ReFantazio won't have any romance options whatsoever, in a stark contrast to past Persona games.

The release date for Metaphor: ReFantazio has been confirmed during a 30-minute developer livestream.

Atlus has announced that its next game, Metaphor: ReFantazio, will launch on October 11 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. 

As one of the Treehouse's resident Atlus sickos, I was incredibly happy to wake up to 25-minutes of Metaphor: ReFantazio's director Katsura Hashino talking us through some new footage. We get a look at a new rural town and the activities you can get up to, like bounty hunting. Travel on your magic mech is compared to "camping", which I wasn't expecting. And there's lots of combat on show, with transitions from real-time to turn-based battles outlined in a bit more detail. Oh and it's coming out in October, which gives me plenty of time to clear my JRPG backlog before this inevitably takes over my entire existence for the foreseeable.

Atlus first teased that it was working on a new RPG with a fantasy setting in mid-2023 — it also said way back then that it will be available sometime this year. Now, the developer has revealed that the game, Metaphor: ReFantazio, will come out on October 11 at a special livestream event. Katsura Hashino, the director of the game, as well as of Persona 3, 4 and 5, also introduced a 30-minute hands-on gameplay that gives you quite a lengthy look at its story and combat mechanics. Similar to the Persona games, Metaphor: ReFantazio has a turn-based combat system with what Atlus says is a «blend of real-time action.»

Metaphor: ReFantazio, the new RPG by the team behind Persona 5 among other RPGs, officially has a release date. In a special showcase streamed Monday, Atlus revealed that Metaphor will be out October 11, putting it squarely in the holidays.
