Metaphor: ReFantazio was, by many accounts, one of the best games of 2024. But it may or may not kick off its own series at Studio Zero.

Metaphor: ReFantazio's success demands a sequel after receiving critical acclaim, record-breaking sales, and Game Awards wins. A sequel to Metaphor: ReFantazio appears almost inevitable given its success and potential to become a defining franchise for Atlus.

Metaphor: ReFantazio director Katsura Hashino has declared that Atlus currently has no plans to turn the JRPG hit into a series.

Metaphor: ReFantazio was developer Atlus' first original game since 2011's twisted love triangle Catherine, but its world might extend further than just a single game as director Katsura Hashino hopes it can become a series.

Metaphor: ReFantazio garnered critical acclaim and won awards, potentially paving the way for a sequel or series. Director Hashino hopes to establish Metaphor: ReFantazio as a flagship RPG series, akin to Shin Megami Tensei and Persona.
