Metaphor: ReFantazio surpasses 1 million sales on its day of release and is the fastest-selling Atlus game

Metaphor: ReFantazio, released today by Atlus, has already surpassed one million units sold.

This makes it the fastest-selling Atlus game of all time. Previously, this record was held by Persona 3 Reload, which was released earlier this year and achieved the same sales figures in less than a week.

To celebrate, Atlus shared the news with a new illustration by character designer Shigenori Soejima.

Before the release of Persona 3 Reload, it took two months for the cross-platform release of Persona 5 Royal to reach 1.3 million units sold.

Over on Steam, Metaphor: ReFantazio is also off to a good start. At the time of writing, it has already peaked at over 42,000 concurrent players and counting (thanks SteamDB).

That’s already more than Persona 5 Royal, which has a peak concurrent player count of 35,474. Persona 3 Reload has a peak score of 45,002, which Metaphor will surely surpass soon.

All in all, it looks like Metaphor: ReFantazio is going to be a huge success for Atlus. It is the first new franchise for the RPG maker since Persona and is set in a high fantasy world – a first for the company.

“Persona veteran Atlus brings its expertise to life with a fresh take on high fantasy. What it lacks in subtlety, it makes up for in size and heart,” reads our Eurogamer Metaphor: ReFantazio review.
