Metaphor: ReFantazio is getting an official strategy guide on February 28, 2025, and you can preorder it now at Amazon for $55. Published by Future Press, the Metaphor: ReFantazio Strategy Guide is a 592-page hardcover book featuring mountains of information and full-color images "that recaptures Atlus's wonderfully unique style on the printed page," according to the Amazon listing.
Official strategy guides are uncommon these days, and this is the first one for an Atlus game in quite some time. Considering the popularity of Metaphor and Atlus role-playing games in general, we imagine this could sell out, so you may want to secure your preorder soon. Future Press has a great track record for making beautiful strategy guides, including a trio of Elden Ring strategy guides that are finally back in stock at Amazon. You can check out a list of notable Future Press guidebooks at the bottom of this story.
