Metaphor: ReFantazio Manga Adaptation Debuts!
The first chapter of the official Metaphor: ReFantazio manga is now available for free on MANGA Plus! This exciting adaptation, a collaboration between Atlus and Shueisha, is illustrated by Yōichi Amano (known for Akaboshi: Ibun Suikoden and Stealth Symphony).
This manga adaptation takes creative liberties with the original game's storyline. Chapter one features a revised opening timeline, omitting certain initial scenes and introducing new events. The protagonist's encounters with allies are also restructured. Significantly, the manga canonically confirms the protagonist's name as Will, aligning with the game's default name.
The next chapter is scheduled for release on February 19th, simultaneously with the Japanese version.
Critical Acclaim for Metaphor: ReFantazio
Developed by Studio Zero (led by Katsura Hashino, the director behind the Persona series), Metaphor: ReFantazio follows Will and his fairy companion, Gallica, as they embark on a quest to save the prince of Euchronia. The king's assassination throws the kingdom into turmoil, leading to a unique succession plan: a leader chosen by the people. Will finds himself unexpectedly thrust into this pivotal role.
The game's phenomenal success is undeniable. It achieved over one million copies sold worldwide on its launch day, surpassing even Persona 3: Reload to become Atlus' fastest-selling title. The critical reception has been overwhelmingly positive, earning numerous awards, including Best RPG, Best Art Direction, and Best Narrative at the 2024 Game Awards.
Metaphor: ReFantazio is available on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Xbox Series X|S.
