More than just a fantasy Persona
Oct 11, 2024 - Announced via tweet by Sega's official Twitter account, Atlus’ Metaphor: ReFantazio has officially sold over one million copies, and it hasn't even been out a full day.
This mark would make it Atlus’ fastest selling game to date - beating out the previous crown-bearer, Persona 3 Reload, which took just under a week to reach the same mark.
The tweet that Sega posted regarding the sales landmark.
Releasing on Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, Metaphor: ReFantazio has garnered heavy attention in the gaming space, releasing to universal acclaim. With an average Metacritic score of 92 across all platforms, critics have noted its great social mechanics and compelling story as major selling points.
Those selling points seem to be resonating with the fanbase quite well. Despite coming from the developers of the excellent Persona series, the rapid success comes as a bit of a surprise, as Metaphor: ReFantasio is an entirely new ip.
We're not sure if this new property will become a mainstay for Atlus, but with the resounding success and positive reception, we're certainly hoping to see more in the future.
