Summary
According to a press release, Nico Hülkenberg and Kevin Magnussen of the MoneyGram Haas F1 Team will have their vehicles adorned with Metaphor’s logo on the nose. More specifically, Hülkenberg’s car will have the in-game companion Hulkenberg and Magnussen’s will have the game’s protagonist.
Irvin Ducournau, director of marketing at Atlus,said in the press release, “Overcoming fear and anxiety is a central theme in Metaphor: ReFantazio, and being featured on the racecars of Nico Hülkenberg and Kevin Magnussen — drivers known for defying the impossible — perfectly mirrors our game, where players beat the odds in their chase for the crown in the Royal Tournament."
Somehow, though, when the race happens, Metaphor and F1 crossing over won’t be the strangest video game and real-life crossover so far this year.
2024 Has Seen Assassins And Soccer Stars
Earlier this year,during the 2024 Paris Olympics, eagle-eyed gamers witnessed Assassin’s Creed Unity’s protagonist, Arno Dorian, play a major role during the Opening Ceremony. With Ubisoft being a French company, it made all the sense in the world.
In other words, as far as 2024 is concerned, then this is absolutely par for the course. The year isn’t over yet, either, so perhaps we’ll see another instance of games and real-life mashing together.
