Metaphor Unveils Series Potential with ReFantazio

Hashino, when discussing Atlus' future plans, expressed interest in developing a Sengoku period-set game. He envisions this 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 current plans for a sequel. He emphasized a commitment to completing the current project, which was originally 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 is unlikely, an anime adaptation is under discussion.

Metaphor: ReFantazio has achieved remarkable success, boasting a peak concurrent player count exceeding 85,961—significantly surpassing Persona 5 Royal (35,474) and Persona 3 Reload (45,002). The game is available on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
