Metaphor: ReFantazio<\/strong> is currently considered Atlus\u2019 fastest selling title ever. With the game simultaneously releasing across consoles and PC worldwide, it sold over a million copies on the first day, topping Persona 3 Reload.  In an interview with 4Gamer<\/a>, director and creative producer Katsura Hashino says that PC gamers have accounted for a larger proportion of the title\u2019s sales than Atlus anticipated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metaphor: ReFantazio was the first Hashino-led title that was simultaneously released for console and PC worldwide. While the preparation for a global release on all platforms was not easy for his team, he considers it a significant thing that players all over the world got to experience this game at the same time on every platform. \u201cEven as a developer, I believe that there is much merit in each player being able to enjoy the game in their preferred environment, and I\u2019m glad that we were able to accomplish that.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
