Dubbed "Metaphor: ReFantazio Prologue Demo", it can be downloaded for free via each platform's official digital storefront, like Steam (for Windows), PlayStation Store, and Xbox Store. It will allow players to take control of the new protagonist and see how their story begins in the United Kingdom of Euchronia which is soon thrust into political upheaval as the young prince gets cursed. Furthermore, a new event begins, where anyone in the kingdom can rise to the throne, further complicating matters.
That said, the Metaphor: ReFantazio demo is a 60 GB download across all platforms. While hefty for a small portion of a huge game, the content covers a decent chunk of early progression, including:
- The first 4 dungeons
- 7 of the 40+ Archetypes (or classes)
- 6 companions, including party members
All progress will carry over to the final game, so players who want to be extra prepared for their upcoming journey can grind to their heart's content. There will be ample opportunities for exploration (especially across the game's vast city), as well as enemy encounters. Developer ATLUS is known for its pedigree in turn-based design and players will surely want to know how this new combat feels compared to past offerings in the Shin Megami Tensei and Persona games.
