Here is the full description from PSN, in regards to what Metaphor: ReFantazio will play like:

We can see from the description that it will play in a similar way to the Persona games. There will be a day-time mechanic, as well as something like the Social Links and Social Stats. We also know that the game has a Cero C rating in Japan due to its depictions of crime and violence. This means that it’s suitable for players who are 15 and older.
Metaphor: ReFantazio will come out in Fall 2024 for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC.
