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 current plans for a sequel. He emphasized a focus on completing the current project, clarifying that while it was initially conceived as a potential third JRPG series alongside Persona and Shin Megami Tensei, the immediate priority is its successful launch and establishment as a flagship Atlus title. While a sequel isn't on the immediate horizon, an anime adaptation is under consideration.
Metaphor: ReFantazio has already achieved significant success, boasting a peak concurrent player count exceeding 85,961. This surpasses the concurrent player counts of Persona 5 Royal (35,474) and Persona 3 Reload (45,002). The game is available across multiple platforms: PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
