Metaphor: ReFantazio has a chance to become a series - game director

Hashino, when discussing future projects, expressed interest in developing a game set during Japan's Sengoku period. He envisions this historical setting as ideal for a new Japanese role-playing game (JRPG), potentially drawing inspiration from the Basara series.

Regarding Metaphor: ReFantazio, Hashino confirmed there are no immediate plans for a sequel. His focus remains on completing the current project, a title he initially conceived as a third major JRPG franchise alongside Persona and Shin Megami Tensei, aiming for it to become a flagship Atlus title. While a sequel isn't currently on the table, the team is already exploring future endeavors, and an anime adaptation is under consideration.

Metaphor: ReFantazio has been a remarkable success for Atlus, achieving the company's best-ever concurrent player count, surpassing 85,961. This significantly outperforms other recent Atlus titles, such as Persona 5 Royal (35,474 players) and Persona 3 Reload (45,002 players). The game is available across multiple platforms: PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
