Ahead of an official news drop, developer ATLUS and publisher SEGA have published a demo build for their upcoming turn-based role-playing game ‘Metaphor: ReFantazio’ on the Xbox Korea Storefront. As spotted by Twitter netizens, this build of the game allows you to experience a portion of the full game and even lets you transfer progress to the full game when it launches mid-October.
This demo for Metaphor will pop up on other platforms and storefronts later on, but if you want to get a head start—simply click on the hyperlink above, log into your Xbox Live account, click the giant green button, and head over to your Xbox console to download the demo from your “My Library” drawer. I’ve not tried it on my end, but this demo should default to your console’s region settings—simply ensure you’re set to whatever language you prefer before booting the game.
