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 benefit from additional bug fixes targeting camera control, frame rate, and controller responsiveness. Atlus' continued support demonstrates their commitment to player experience.
Speculation regarding a sequel is growing, fueled by the game's phenomenal reception. While director Katsura Hashino confirms no immediate plans, he expresses his ambition to establish Metaphor as a major JRPG franchise alongside Persona and Shin Megami Tensei.
The timing of any sequel announcement remains uncertain, but anticipation is high, especially with the upcoming ninth anniversary of Persona 5 in 2025 and the persistent rumors surrounding Persona 6. Metaphor's success has elevated Atlus to new heights, leading many to believe a new Persona entry would be a strategic move to maintain this momentum.
