Metaphor: ReFantazio Director Hashino Working on New Project

In a recent Famitsu interview with Metaphor: ReFantazio Director Katsura Hashino and Slitterhead Director Keiichiro Toyama, the Atlus game developer confirmed that he is already working on the next project after Metaphor: ReFantazio. However, there are no hints about what it could be. [Thanks, Famitsu!]

The developer didn’t give any details on what his next project will be, but Hashino confirmed that he has already moved on to a new game within Atlus. When asked about his next project, he said that he doesn’t really think about how he personally feels about what to do next. Instead, he noted he looks at Atlus as a whole and thinks about what could be the best project for the team to create. If the players are ultimately happy with it, then the company will also be pleased with the result.

When Keiichiro Toyama asked him about Studio Zero being created to develop Metaphor: ReFantazio, Hashino responded that he doesn’t see the studio as just designed for that purpose and separate from the rest of Atlus. Instead, he claimed he sees it as a place to create new initiatives. Hashino also added that Studio Zero will continue to operate after the release of Metaphor: ReFantazio, and he expects the team to take on new challenges after the latest title.

Metaphor: ReFantazio is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC worldwide.
