You can only put "are turn-based RPGs dying?" in the thumbnail if you just woke up from a 10-year coma.

This year alone we got:

  • Metaphor Refantazio
  • Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth
  • Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door (remake)
  • Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance (enhanced edition for all platforms)
  • Persona 3 Reload
  • Dragon Quest 3 Remake
  • Fantasian Neo Dimension

Not mentioning a ton of indies probably...

On the indy front, I picked up Terra Memoria, and it's been interesting so far!

I had to look it up and octopath traveler 2 was last year. I'm never getting my normal sense of the passage of time back, am i

4 of those are remakes. And Fantasian came out in 2021, it's just now getting ported to other platforms.

Also Metaphor is only half-turn based, you only directly control one character.

Like a Dragon is the only one I would actually count in such an argument

You control a full party in Metaphor. If you only played the beginning of the prologue, the game waits for a certain story event to happen before giving you control of other characters.
