Metaphor: ReFantazio Update 1.09

While Atlus‘ Metaphor ReFantazio was just released today, a new patch has been released. So far, we can confirm it’s available on the PS5 version of the game as Metaphor ReFantazio update 1.003 , though can’t say if the other versions got a patch yet. From our own investigation, the PS4 version didn’t get an update.

Metaphor ReFantazio Update 1.003 Patch Notes:

Update: After a few days, Atlus has finally revealed the patch notes.

  • Fixed some bugs that could, on rare occasions, prevent progression under certain conditions
  • Changed the network connection processing when entering names.

Atlus has not released any changelog just yet,  though we’re hoping that changes soon. The last confirmed patch was for the Prologue Demo which had the following fixes:

  • Performance fixes: Adjustments made to relieve GPU stress
  • GPU: Game will now choose highest spec (dedicated) GPU
  • Other minor fixes

Other than that, SEGA nor Atlus have said anything. Even the community has not reported on anything that got fixed, so chances are, this is a technical patch that doesn’t alter anything gameplay-specific. We’ve reached out to the game’s developers to see if they’re willing to share any changes made and if we hear anything back, we’ll update the article.

For those not familiar with the RPG, here’s a rundown:
