A few days ago, we shared with you a report stating that PlatinumGames is planning to make Astral Chain the first game of a trilogy as long as the game sells many copies.

Now Astral Chain director Takahisa Taura has come out to clarify that that is not true. Taura has stated on his personal Twitter account that making an Astral Chain trilogy is simply one of his ideas, and nothing about the trilogy is confirmed at this point.

Here are his full words (translated by NintendoSoup):

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

Though this (IGN Japan) article wrote that we are making Astral Chain the first title in a trilogy, the reality is we aren’t even doing or planning that. This is simply one of many ideas I have in my head.

海外のインタビューは僕が話したことを英語に翻訳して伝えられて記事になり、それがまた翻訳されて……と伝言ゲームのようになるので、中々真意は伝わりにくいものですね……

I’ve conducted interviews with several overseas publications which have translated my words into English… and it seems that some of my words have been misunderstood, making it hard for me to convey my true intentions to people…

IGN Japan has put out a correction to the article.

本日掲載した『ASTRAL CHAIN』に関する記事について誤りがあったため、記事の冒頭にその旨を追記いたしました。誠に申し訳ございません。また、当初のツイートも削除いたしました https://t.co/IVN0e8iPqY
