Metaphor Refantazio Is Getting Repped At The F1 Grand Prix This Weekend

During the F1 Grand Prix happening in Singapore this week, the protagonist and Hulkenberg from Metaphor: ReFantazio will be featured on two MoneyGram Haas race cars. The protagonist and game logo will be adorned on the top nose of Kevin Magnussen’s car, while Hulkenberg will be featured on, uh, Nico Hulkenberg’s car. Atlus tells us there is no relation between the two. Here’s a statement from the racers and Atlus regarding the collaboration: This collaboration actually makes sense, in a small way. Metaphor‘s story centers around a group of misfits in a popularity race to win the throne of Euchronia, while the F1 race is, well, a race. So hey, I could see it. And if nothing else, F1 fans who also happen to be into Atlus RPGs will at least have something to look forward to during the race this weekend. This partnership will last only for one race, and I don’t know about you, but personally, as someone who’s never cared about F1, I’ll certainly be rooting for the cars with the video game anime characters on them. Metaphor: ReFantazio is set to be released for consoles and PC on Oct. 11.
