Yesterday saw a surprise demo drop for Persona developer Atlus’s latest game, Metaphor: ReFantazio. The enormous fantasy RPG is due out October 11, but roughly six hours of the game are already available,

Metaphor: ReFantazio's Prologue demo is out on all platforms, giving everyone access to the first few hours of dungeon crawling and political scheming in the newest JRPG from the Persona team - but PC players aren't having the greatest time.

A description for the demo leaked on the Hong Kong on the Xbox store earlier today, describing a prologue for Metaphor: ReFantazio that would show players its opening, and carry over their demo progress to the full game.

Metaphor: ReFantazio has a prologue demo currently available on all platforms, letting players try out the first few hours of the game for free. While some demos aim to give players a taste of what to expect later in a game, the demo for Metaphor: ReFantazio instead focuses on the very beginning of the game.

A free demo for Metaphor: ReFantazio, the new turn-based JRPG from the creators of Persona, is available now on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. Progress made in the demo will carry over to the full version of the game when it releases in October.

Metaphor: ReFantazio makes no qualms about scaring you in its early game. You can’t handle the fierce monsters in the opening area, the first boss will nearly kill you, and that Captain Klinger guy…okay,

Metaphor: ReFantazio now has a playable demo featuring the opening of the game and four dungeons, with progress carrying over to the full game on October 11th.
