Metaphor: ReFantazio was a critical hit, an awards magnet, and one of publisher Atlus' fastest-selling games. So, uh, surely a sequel would be a no-brainer, right? Frequent Persona and Metaphor director Katsura Hashino has now said that he doesn't want to rush into making a follow-up based solely on the first game's success, though. Whatever comes next for Metaphor has to "be worthwhile for the fans."
"When we initially set out to create this game, we had the ambitions of hoping to cultivate this game into one of our brands within Atlus, like a pillar," Hashino told Game Informer, explaining how he wanted Metaphor: ReFantazio to join the likes of Shin Megami Tensei and Persona within the company.
