Metaphor: ReFantazio Manga Chapter 1 Out Now!
Experience Will’s Journey in Manga Form
Attention all Metaphor enthusiasts! The first chapter of the official Metaphor: ReFantazio manga has debuted on MANGA Plus’ website, and you can dive into it for free. This exciting collaboration between Atlus and manga publisher Shueisha brings to life the artwork of the talented Japanese manga author Yōichi Amano, known for his works like Akaboshi: Ibun Suikoden and Stealth Symphony.
While staying true to the essence of the video game, the manga introduces some creative twists, notably altering the opening timeline. The first chapter showcases significant changes such as the omission of a specific introductory area from the game, the introduction of new events, and a reshuffling of how the protagonist, now canonically named Will, encounters his allies.
Mark your calendars: the next chapter will be available on February 19th, and it will be updated simultaneously with its Japanese release.
Metaphor: ReFantazio: A Celebrated New Universe
Metaphor: ReFantazio marks Atlus' bold venture into a new intellectual property, crafted by the visionary team at Studio Zero under the guidance of Katsura Hashino, the acclaimed director and producer behind Persona 3, Persona 4, and Persona 5. Join Will and his fairy companion Gallica on an epic quest through the United Kingdom of Euchronia, tasked with the critical mission to rescue the kingdom's prince from a cursed fate.
The plot thickens as the kingdom reels from the assassination of its king, plunging the realm into turmoil without a leader. In a bid to restore order, the late king's dying wish was to entrust the kingdom's future to a leader chosen by the people. This pivotal moment propels Will into a narrative far grander than he ever imagined.
Launching to phenomenal success, Metaphor: ReFantazio sold over a million copies on its first day, eclipsing the launch figures of Persona 3: Reload from earlier in 2024. The game has since garnered widespread acclaim, earning high scores and prestigious awards, including Best RPG, Best Art Direction, and Best Narrative at the 2024 The Game Awards.
Embark on your adventure with Metaphor: ReFantazio, available on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Xbox Series X|S.
