The parent company of game publisher Atlus, Index Holdings, announced today its intentions to merge their mobile developer Index with Atlus. The move is intended to increase efficiency and better utilize group resources. Index Holdings acquired Atlus in 2006 through a stock purchase. The merger is expected to take place on October 1st.

After the merger, Atlus as a company will cease to exist but that hardly means the end of the brand. A public relations representative for Index Holdings has stated that games will continue to be released under the Atlus brand for the time being.


Sure Atlus games will still be made, and they will still have the Atlus brand, but its still sad news.

As long as it's just the name changing, I don't really have any qualms with this. I just hope that this parent company doesn't meddle in Atlus' game production too much.

I didn't remember they had any hit titles so I was checking their product list, none of the titles made the "that's it" ringing in my head.

They did the Shin Megami Tensei series and its spin offs, Trauma Center, and they also published a few good games, like Disgaea, Odin Sphere, Lufia, Summon Night, etc.

The only thing there published by Atlus was Odin Sphere, and Disgaea, the rest is either developed/published by Nippon Ichi.

Atlus =/= Nippon Ichi

As long as I still get my Etrian Odyssey 3 next month I'm fine.
You're riding down the river in a four-door canoe. All of a sudden, your wings fall off. How many apes can you fit into a paper bag?


Three characters take non-linear routes into a bar.

Their endings are different, but not in any significant way.

Oh yeah those are... um... still not familiar, I know about trauma center, but these are pretty much not my type of games.
