It’s easy to draw comparisons between Metaphor: ReFantazio and Persona, given that the upcoming RPG is in the works over at Persona makers Atlus and is built around a similar ‘transform into an awesome-looking robot/creature and do battle’ concept, but so far all those comparisons only serve to highlight just how damn good Metaphor: ReFantazio looks.
Metaphor: ReFantazio will have three different modes in its playable demo at Atlus Fes, with each mode having a different difficulty rank. You’ll only have about fifteen minutes to play when it’s your turn, so choose wisely.
Atlus Fes will run on June 8 and 9, 2024. You don’t have to pay for a ticket, so you can just walk in and check it out. However, there will probably be a line-up at the Metaphor: ReFantazio demo booth, so there’s no guarantee everyone will be able to play it. You can check out Atlus Fes in Bellesalle Akihabara.
The three different modes are Scenario Mode, Dungeon Mode, and Boss Challenge Mode. Atlus recommends Dungeon Mode for players. Scenario Mode lets you play the first little bit of the story and learn the basic controls. You will also be able to experience your Archetype awakening scene.
Dungeon Mode lets you play through a dungeon from the early hours of the game. Your goal is to complete a subquest while using your Archetype-wielding companions in turn-based combat. Finally, Boss Challenge Mode pits you against a boss from the middle section of the game. You’ll also be able to operate a mount that can move around on the ocean.
Metaphor: ReFantazio will come out on October 11, 2024, for the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X.

A little while back we were graced by 25-minutes of Metaphor: ReFantazio footage, from which I gleaned some chunks of info. Honestly, a new press release doesn't unveil a whole lot of hotness we didn't catch a glimpse of before, but it does give us a better idea of how the battle system works in Atlus's upcoming JRPG.
Atlus has updated the PSN Store description for Metaphor: ReFantazio, giving an idea of the gameplay loop. This information is from the PlayStation Stores from regions like Japan and Hong Kong. [Thanks, Persona Central!]
Here is the full description from PSN, in regards to what Metaphor: ReFantazio will play like:
From the creative minds behind Persona 3, 4, and 5 comes Metaphor: ReFantazio, a unique fantasy world, where your protagonist will journey alongside his fairy companion, Gallica, to lift the curse from the kingdom’s lost prince. Control your destiny, face your fears, and awaken magical “Archetype” powers that lie dormant in your heart. By awakening to an “Archetype,” you will unlock the power to channel and combine the abilities of unique job classes.

We can see from the description that it will play in a similar way to the Persona games. There will be a day-time mechanic, as well as something like the Social Links and Social Stats. We also know that the game has a Cero C rating in Japan due to its depictions of crime and violence. This means that it’s suitable for players who are 15 and older.
Metaphor: ReFantazio will come out in Fall 2024 for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC.
