Hashino, when discussing the studio's future, 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 current plans for a sequel. While the game was initially conceived as a potential third JRPG series alongside Persona and Shin Megami Tensei, the focus remains on completing the current project. The director aims for Metaphor: ReFantazio to become a flagship title for Atlus.
Although a direct sequel is unlikely, the team is already working on their next project. However, an anime adaptation is being considered. Metaphor: ReFantazio has already achieved significant success, marking Atlus' most successful platform launch to date.
The game's peak concurrent player count exceeded 85,961, surpassing the concurrent player counts of Persona 5 Royal (35,474) and Persona 3 Reload (45,002). Metaphor: ReFantazio is available on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
