Hashino expressed interest in developing a Sengoku period-based game, envisioning it as a compelling setting for a new Japanese role-playing game (JRPG), potentially drawing inspiration from the Basara series.
Regarding Metaphor: ReFantazio's future, Hashino confirmed no immediate plans for a sequel, prioritizing the game's successful completion. He revealed the game's initial conception as a potential third JRPG series 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 consideration.
Metaphor: ReFantazio has achieved remarkable success, boasting a peak concurrent player count exceeding 85,961, 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.
