Astral Chain Director Takahisa Taura Provides Clarification On The Trilogy Comment

Yesterday it was reported in an interview by IGN Benelux that Astral Chain is being made as the first part of a trilogy, but director Takahisa Taura took to Twitter to provide clarification on the mistranslation.

記事で『「3部作の1作目として」作っている』と記載されていますが、そんな事実はありません。僕の頭の中では3部作どころかそれ以上に展開できるくらい色々考えている、と答えただけです。 ＞ 『ASTRAL CHAIN』は3部作の1作目？ 追加コンテンツの予定はない模様 – IGN Japan https://t.co/45kjUwjzID

“The article states that it is being made as the ‘first title of a trilogy’ but this is not true. I simply said that I’m thinking about different ways to expand further, be it a trilogy or more.”

So Astral Chain isn’t being made as a trilogy, but having it expand into one is something Taura has thought about among other possibilities for the game going forward. When asked by one fan if it means there’s a good chance for at least a sequel, Taura said “If we’re talking about possibilities, then I think the same goes for all games.”

Astral Chain releases for Nintendo Switch on August 30, 2019.
