The purpose of the transfer, according to the press release, is Index’s “excellent track record in the design and development of content for mobile phones,” and “on the development of home video game software,” in which the company owns “a number of prominent IPs,” such as Shin Megami Tensei, Persona, and Etrian Odyssey.
