Metaphor: ReFantazio, the upcoming RPG from Atlus, is set to launch on October 11, 2024, and introduces five difficulty options catering to different player experiences. These include 'Storyteller' for casual gamers and 'Regicide,' a mode aimed at hardcore players seeking tough challenges reminiscent of classic skill check bosses from Atlus titles. The varied difficulty settings provide players with control over their gameplay and narrative engagement, offering a balance between accessibility and traditional difficulty levels that appeal to both new and veteran RPG players. This flexibility signals Atlus's commitment to broadening its audience while maintaining the franchise's established challenging gameplay.

What are the difficulty options in Metaphor: ReFantazio?

Metaphor: ReFantazio features five difficulty options: 'Storyteller' for casual players, Easy, Normal, Hard, and an ultra-challenging mode called 'Regicide' aimed at those seeking an intense experience.

Metaphor: ReFantazio marks a notable entry for Atlus, being their first new RPG in generations since the well-known Shin Megami Tensei and Persona series, which have established a reputation for their challenging gameplay mechanics. The game takes creative inspiration from various JRPGs while aiming to blend engaging storytelling with tactical combat systems familiar to fans of the genre. This blend could attract both longtime fans and newcomers, positioning it as a significant title in the upcoming RPG landscape.
