Metaphor: ReFantazio, the fantasy RPG developed by Atlus Studio Zero and published by SEGA, officially launched on Nintendo Switch 2 on November 12, 2026.
The version for Nintendo's handheld console arrives at a more accessible new price. In the United States, the standard edition costs $39.99, while special editions range from $49.99 to $69.99. In Japan, the announced price is 3,990 yen (including tax). SEGA and Atlus confirmed that versions on other platforms (PS5, PS4, Xbox and PC) will also see a price reduction.
What we know about the Switch 2 version
The Switch 2 version includes touchscreen support and performance modes. Early reviews and technical analyses indicate the game offers Performance, Balanced and Graphics options in both handheld and TV modes. The frame rate is uncapped and can vary, with some modes prioritizing visual stability.
Atlus released a new celebratory illustration by character designer Shigenori Soejima and a new trailer. A prologue demo had been available since October, and saves can be transferred to the full version.
Why this matters
Metaphor: ReFantazio was one of the highest-rated RPGs of 2024, with strong praise for its narrative, combat system and art direction. Its arrival on Switch 2 expands access for players who prefer handheld or TV play, especially as the console continues to establish itself in the market.
