Metaphor: ReFantazio receives Update 1.11, enhancing menu navigation and addressing PC-specific bugs. This follows the game's incredibly successful launch in October 2024, achieving million-unit sales on its first day and garnering widespread critical acclaim.
The update, version 1.11, introduces improved menu functionality across all platforms. Players can now adjust battle formations and swap party members directly from the main menu and equipment screen. A new "jump to category" feature on the item screen streamlines inventory management. PC players also benefit from several bug fixes targeting camera controls, frame rate inconsistencies, and controller responsiveness.
While a sequel isn't currently in development, director Katsura Hashino expressed his hope for a future Metaphor: ReFantazio series, envisioning it alongside Persona and Shin Megami Tensei as a major JRPG franchise. This desire, coupled with Atlus's recent success, fuels fan anticipation for future announcements, particularly concerning the long-awaited Persona 6, especially given the upcoming ninth anniversary of Persona 5 in 2025.
