Metaphor: ReFantazio Manga Chapter 1 Out Now!

Experience Will’s Journey in Manga Format

Metaphor enthusiasts have something special to look forward to with the release of the first chapter of the Metaphor: ReFantazio manga, now freely available on MANGA Plus' website. This collaboration between Atlus and manga publisher Shueisha brings the story to life through the skilled illustrations of Japanese manga artist Yōichi Amano, known for works like Akaboshi: Ibun Suikoden and Stealth Symphony.

The manga diverges from the original video game storyline by introducing creative alterations, such as omitting an initial story area and adding new events not seen in the game. It also reshapes existing events, including how the protagonist, now officially named Will in the manga, encounters his allies.

Mark your calendars, as the next chapter will be released on February 19th, aligning with the Japanese publication schedule.

Metaphor: ReFantazio Receives Immense Praise And Awards

Metaphor: ReFantazio, the latest intellectual property from Atlus, is crafted by Studio Zero under the direction of Katsura Hashino, renowned for his work on Persona 3, Persona 4, and Persona 5. The game follows Will and his fairy companion Gallica in their quest to save the prince of the United Kingdom of Euchronia from a cursed fate.

Amidst their journey, the kingdom faces turmoil following the assassination of the king, leaving it without a leader. In his final act, the king wishes for the people to choose their next ruler, thrusting Will into a grander narrative than he ever anticipated.

Upon its launch, Metaphor: ReFantazio achieved remarkable success, selling over one million copies worldwide on day one, surpassing even Persona 3: Reload's initial sales in early 2024. The game's critical acclaim continued, earning it high scores and prestigious awards such as Best RPG, Best Art Direction, and Best Narrative at the 2024 The Game Awards.

Metaphor: ReFantazio is playable on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Xbox Series X|S, offering a rich experience across multiple platforms.
