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

Jan 05,25

Hashino, when discussing Atlus' future plans, 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's future as a franchise, Hashino confirmed there are currently no concrete plans for a sequel. His focus remains on completing the current project, which he originally conceived as a third major JRPG series alongside Persona and Shin Megami Tensei, aiming for it to become a flagship title for Atlus.

While a Metaphor: ReFantazio sequel is unlikely to be the studio's next endeavor, an anime adaptation is under consideration. Metaphor: ReFantazio has already achieved remarkable success for Atlus, boasting a peak concurrent player count exceeding 85,961—significantly surpassing the concurrent player counts of 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.
