Metaphor ReFantazio is nearly here! It’s another epic JRPG from Atlus, and many have dubbed it fantasy Persona. It’s certainly received a fantastic reception on par with Persona 5, and it is a game-of-the-year contender. Here you will find the release date and time countdown for when Metaphor ReFantazio will come out on PC Steam, PS5, and Xbox, along with how to play the game early.
In our preview, we lavished Metaphor ReFantazio with praise for its gorgeous art style, typically great turn-based combat, and, most especially, its bombastic music. The OST for this game is incredible, and every other aspect is more than deserving of its 94 on Metacritic, which makes it the highest-rated game of the year so far alongside Astro Bot.
We cannot wait to play, and the good news is that the release date and time countdown is nearly over for PS5, PC Steam, and Xbox. If you cannot wait, you can even start your adventure early.
The release date for Metaphor ReFantazio is October 11th. It is launching on PS4 and PS5, but it is also releasing day one on PC for Steam as well as Xbox consoles.
Launching day one on PC, as well as Xbox, is very rare for Atlus, but is most definitely welcomed. After all, the more people who get to experience another Atlus masterpiece the better.
With the release of Metaphor, October is proving to be the busiest month of the year. We’ve already had the Silent Hill 2 remake, but we also have the launches of Black Ops 6 and Dragon Age Veilguard still to come.
When does Metaphor ReFantazio come out?
The release time for when Metaphor ReFantazio will come out on PC for Steam is 9PM PT on October 10th, and 12AM ET/5AM BST on October 11th.
The above comes courtesy of Steam which says the game is available to pre-order until October 10, 2024 at 20:59 PST. For consoles, the release time is earlier or later depending on your region.

Countdown
Below is a countdown to the game’s launch on PC for Steam:
How to play early
Because it’s a local midnight release on console, Xbox players can perform the New Zealand trick to start playing on October 10th. 12AM NZDT on October 11th should translate to 4AM PT/8AM ET/12PM BST, so this is the earliest you can begin playing.
As for PS5 and PC, there is no New Zealand trick, but you can play early through downloading the demo. The demo contains six hours worth of content from the game’s very beginning, and you will be able to transfer your progress over to the full release.
