If you’re looking to get your hands on Metaphor: ReFantazio, now might be the perfect time. As part of Sega’s Black Friday 2024 sale, the game is seeing a significant 25% discount on both the PlayStation and Xbox platforms. This means the game is now available at its lowest price ever, dropping to $52.49, though this sweet deal is set to wrap up in early December 2024. Oddly enough, the sale bypasses Steam entirely.
Hailing as a nominee for the Game of the Year at TGA 2024, Metaphor: ReFantazio is now more accessible thanks to this price slash. Released on October 11, the RPG from Atlus quickly became a blockbuster, selling over a million copies in just one day. It has received rave reviews and stands as one of the highest-rated games of the year.
If you’re eyeing this discount, note that both PlayStation and Xbox gamers can snag it until different deadlines—December 3rd for PlayStation users and the day prior for Xbox users. This price drop comes as part of Sega’s Black Friday festivities, which began on November 22.
Even the Digital Anniversary Edition of the game isn’t left out, boasting the same 25% cut. Priced at $74.99, this edition comes with goodies like a digital artbook, soundtrack, a commemorative book detailing Atlus’s 35-year journey, and all eight DLC costume packs. These add-ons, unfortunately, aren’t discounted separately during the sale.
The discount for Metaphor: ReFantazio is certainly a highlight among this year’s lineup of JRPG deals. Many critics have touted it as a must-buy, even before the discount. With its nomination for six categories at TGA 2024, the game could easily shine in elements like Best Score and Music and Best Art Direction.
Considering Sega’s usual approach of offering multi-platform sales, it’s curious the discount didn’t extend to Steam, where the game still stands at $69.99. However, with Sega’s history of sales, there’s hope for a Steam discount before the year is out.
From the team known for the Persona series, Metaphor: ReFantazio offers a captivating fantasy setting filled with magical adventures. You’re in for a journey alongside your fairy companion, Gallica, in a quest to free the kingdom’s lost prince from a curse. The game invites players to manage Archetype powers, blend abilities from unique job classes, and form bonds to tackle fierce adversaries and unravel the kingdom’s mysteries. Released simultaneously across platforms on October 11, 2024, it’s optimized for a seamless experience, whether you’re on Xbox, PlayStation, or PC.
