Metaphor: ReFantazio made its debut on the Switch 2 this week, and although the port has been positively received by both enthusiasts and reviewers, there is a particular problem you might face.
Sega (along with Atlus) has recognized this in an official Japanese announcement regarding the game’s launch. Luckily, it’s not a game-breaking glitch or anything severe; it merely alters the hues of objects and characters. Here’s a rough translation:
Atlus: “We have verified that after a certain duration of play, some objects and characters momentarily showcase colors that deviate from their original hues. This glitch does not hinder game progression.”
“We are currently developing an update patch to rectify this issue. When the stream starts, we will share the news on the official X account and website.”
As previously mentioned, a patch to remedy this concern is already in progress. This glitch reportedly may arise after 30 hours of gameplay.
In addition to this update, Atlus has also unveiled a unique illustration to celebrate the launch of this title on the Switch 2 this week. The artwork comes from the game’s character designer Shigenori Soejima.
If you haven’t started playing this game on the Switch 2 yet, there is a demo available for download from the eShop (save data transfers over), and additional information regarding this version can be found in our review here on Nintendo Life.
