Toru Furuya has been recast in Metaphor: ReFantazio. Metaphor: ReFantazio is one of Atlus' newest projects, set for a release on October 11, 2024. The game is being developed by several industry veterans, perhaps most well-known for their work on the Persona franchise. Katsura Hashino, director of the Persona series from Persona 3 to Persona 5, founded Studio Zero in 2016, and development for Metaphor: ReFantazio, then-titled Project Re:Fantasy, was announced that December.
