I make a point of playing video games across a wide range of genres and from a vast variety of developers, publishers, and parts of the world. However, one franchise that has so far completely failed to elicit my interest is Persona. In fact, I've never been terribly drawn to any of the legendary JRPGs by SEGA subsidiary Atlus, also known for the Shin Megami Tensei series.
Despite Atlus massively improving its relationship with Xbox and bringing plenty of its games to Xbox Game Pass, I still haven't pulled the trigger. However, I recently got a chance to go hands-on with the upcoming debut of Atlus' all-new fantasy universe as a part of Summer Game Fest 2024, and it seems my lifelong Atlus drought is about to end. Metaphor: ReFantazio is coming to Xbox, Windows PC, PlayStation, and Xbox Game Pass later this year, and I'm actually kind of excited now.
