Jun 9
Atlus announced during the June 9 Nintendo Direct livestream that the Switch 2 version of its fantasy RPG Metaphor: ReFantazio will release on November 12, 2026. The game originally launched in 2024 on other platforms. Set in the United Kingdom of Euchronia, the story follows a protagonist and the fairy Gallica as they try to lift a death curse from the prince, becoming entangled in a magical election for the throne. The battle system combines real-time field attacks against weaker enemies with turn-based Squad command battles against stronger foes. Players can switch between Archetype classes-warrior, mage, and others-to customize party composition and character growth. The announcement was part of a broader Nintendo Direct broadcast that included other titles.
