Massive Atlus Survey Mentions Metaphor Sequel, Yet More Persona Spin-Offs

Atlus, the celebrated Japanese studio, drops a hefty questionnaire every twelve months to harvest player impressions across its many IPs, headlined by the Persona saga.

These forms generally give tiny glimpses into future pipelines, and the 2025 version keeps that tradition alive.

A couple of bite-sized revelations stand out. One query probes preferred platforms for any “next chapter,” with Metaphor: ReFantazio joining the ever-present Persona banner; curiously, “Vanillaware” is on the same list—a nod to the talented crew behind Unicorn Overlord, a studio in which Atlus collaborates closely.

Even more eye-opening, the questionnaire explicitly names Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army, adding fuel to speculation that its sequel will likewise get a modern overhaul.

Persona devotees have spent years begging for whispers of Persona 6, yet between Persona 3 Reload, Metaphor itself, and the soon-to-drop Persona 4 Revival, the pace can feel almost mocking.

Might a Metaphor follow-up be on the table? Penny for your thoughts. The fantasy RPG felt like a closed circle, and its sales barely cracked one million units since launch, prompting doubts about Atlus banking on a brand-new franchise. They’ll clearly pore over these survey results to see if enthusiasm exists.

Elsewhere, a second point of interest homes in on bite-sized spin-offs—material many Persona loyalists are frankly exhausted by.

Sure enough, Persona 5 has been wrung drier than last week’s towel, yet Atlus is testing waters for even more offshoot tales. Respondents can tick boxes for action-adventure, “Musou-style” brawlers, dating sims, Souls-likes (heaven forbid), online multiplayer, or roguelikes.

You can grab the English slot yourself right here.

So—what direction do you hunger for next? Can you endure another Persona detour, or are you ready for a hard turn? And does Metaphor truly cry out for a continuation? Hammer out your social links in the comments.
