Atlus announced on Tuesday that it has removed voice actor Tōru Furuya from the cast of its upcoming Metaphor: ReFantazio fantasy role-playing game “due to various circumstances,” and will announce the replacement cast member sometime in July.
On his X (formerly Twitter) account on May 22, voice actor Tōru Furuya acknowledged a recent report by the Weekly Bunshun magazine regarding an affair he had with a fan.
Atlus had not previously announced which character or role Furuya would be playing in the game.
Furuya admitted that he had been in a relationship with a female fan for four and a half years until last September.
