With Metaphor: ReFantazio releasing next week, loyal Atlus fans may already know how they’ll spend their October gaming time. A new IP from the studio behind some of the best role-playing games in recent years is certainly exciting. Atlus has had quite a year thanks to Persona 3: Reloaded and Shin Megami Tensei V: Revengeance. If you haven’t tried out the Persona 3 remake and the heavily expanded and overhauled SMT V version, you can purchase the PC versions of both games at Fanatical.
The Shin Megami Tensei deal is particularly notable, as both versions are down to their best prices yet. The Digital Deluxe Edition offer is a 48-hour Fanatical Star Deal, which means the number of keys is limited. The deal ends on Friday, October 4 at 8 a.m. PT/11 a.m. ET.
At the same time, the digital premium version of Persona 3 Reload is discounted by nearly 50%. You can also save on a PC pre-order of Metaphor: ReFantazio, including the 35th Anniversary Edition, which includes two digital art books, two digital soundtracks, and additional DLC. Note: Amazon restocked the Metaphor: ReFantazio Collector’s Edition for PS5 and Xbox on October 2.
Shin Megami Tensei and Persona Game Deals (PC)
Metaphor: ReFantazio PC Pre-Order Deal
Originally a Nintendo Switch exclusive, the game has since brought this fantastic turn-based RPG to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Set in a Tokyo devastated by countless demons, this stylish adventure lets you explore the wasteland of the metropolis in a dramatic tale of revenge. While you have the power to fight the Kadistu and their dark machinations, you can improve your odds by recruiting demons to your side. It’s kind of like Pokemon, but more apocalyptic. This version of the game is also the defining one, as it introduces many tweaks, changes, and quality-of-life updates to make it look, play, and feel even better.
The Digital Deluxe Edition is usually $10 more than the standard edition, but Fanatical’s deal brings the difference down to $5. It contains quite a bit of extra content to help you when you start the game and extra quests:
SMT V: Revenge – Digital Deluxe Edition
- Sanyu dance of wealth
- EXP’s Dance of Three Tama
- Miracle Dance of Sanyu
- Demon Side Quest – Dongfang Yingjin
- Demonic Subquest – Divine Will and Secular Dissent
This is the lowest price for the PC version of Shin Megami Tensei V: Revengeance, but if you want to buy it on other platforms, you’re in luck. The Switch steelbook version costs $46 on Amazon, but if you don’t want a fancy case with eye-catching artwork, you can buy the regular version for $41. The standard physical version is only $40 on Xbox Series
“Everything that made Shin Megami Tensei V such a memorable and engaging experience is preserved in Revengeance, just tweaked and massaged into a better game. Easier to connect with the narrative. Arise – Having other human characters join your party and chatting with them can make the events happening around you feel more impactful, while various tweaks to navigation, combat, and demon gatherings allow you to focus more on savoring the dark atmosphere and Battle strategy,” Heidi Campos wrote in GameSpot’s review of Shin Megami Tensei V: Revengeance.
