On December 25, 2024, Japan's legendary Weekly Famitsu videogame magazine company interviewed Katsura Hashino, the director for Atlus' most recent JRPG mega-hit, Metaphor: ReFantazio (via a translation provided by PersonaCentral). According to this interview, Katsura Hashino states that there are currently no concrete plans for a sequel but he hopes that Metaphor: ReFantazio will get one someday.
He mentions that he has an idea to make Metaphor: ReFantazio's sequel take place in a Sengoku period but he jokingly realizes that going in that direction would turn the game into something similar to the Basara franchise.
