With Metaphor: ReFantazio set to release next week, dedicated Atlus fans likely already have their October gaming plans sorted. The anticipation for this new IP from the studio that brought us some of the finest role-playing games in recent years is palpable. Atlus has had a stellar year so far, thanks to the releases of Persona 3 Reload and Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. If you haven't yet experienced the remake of Persona 3 or the significantly enhanced version of SMT V, you're in luck—both are currently available at substantial discounts on PC via Fanatical. The deals on Shin Megami Tensei are particularly noteworthy, as both editions are at their lowest prices ever. The Digital Deluxe Edition is part of a 48-hour Fanatical Star Deal, meaning limited keys are available. The offer concludes on Friday, October 4 at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET.
Meanwhile, the Digital Premium Edition of Persona 3 Reload is nearly 50% off. Additionally, you can save on preorders for Metaphor: ReFantazio on PC, including the 35th Anniversary Edition, which includes two digital art books, two digital soundtracks, and bonus DLC. A heads-up for collectors: Amazon restocked the Collector's Edition of Metaphor: ReFantazio for PS5 and Xbox on October 2. Originally exclusive to the Nintendo Switch, the Vengeance version of the game expanded its reach to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Set in a post-apocalyptic Tokyo overrun by demons, this stylish adventure allows you to navigate the ruined metropolis and delve into a gripping tale of vengeance. With the ability to recruit demons to your cause, the game offers a unique blend of strategy and dark narrative.
The Digital Deluxe Edition, typically $10 more than the standard edition, is now only $5 more at Fanatical. This edition includes extra content to aid in your early game progress and additional quests. The current price for the Digital Deluxe Edition of Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance on PC is the lowest it has ever been. For those interested in other platforms, the Switch steelbook edition is available for $46 at Amazon, while the regular version is $41. The standard physical version for Xbox Series X and Xbox One is $40, $42 for PS5, and the PS5 steelbook edition is $46.60 through a third-party seller at Walmart.
Heidi Kemps of GameSpot noted in her review of Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance that "Everything that made Shin Megami Tensei V such a memorable and engaging experience remains in Vengeance, just tweaked and massaged into an even better game." She added that the adjustments to narrative, navigation, combat, and demon recruitment enhance the overall experience, allowing players to immerse themselves more deeply in the game's dark atmosphere and strategic battles.
You can save 13% on Metaphor: ReFantazio PC preorders, which will be delivered as Steam keys at launch via Fanatical.
