Details are not very clear at the moment but seems like Atlus and the mobile division of Index have merged into one sinlg ecompany called Index Holding, so Atlus as we know it as disappeared, It's unknow if they're going to keep the name.

Update: Index is a media company founded in 1995, they own the anime studio Madhouse, the game companies Atlus and Interchannel plus a mobile company called Nikkatsu, at this moment the merge only include Atlus.

I want only what's best for Atlus, they have made so kick arse games this generation and they deserve the best

Damn! bad news after bad news really!?

Index Holdings acquired Atlus on 30 October 2007.

Yep. both were working as separatedcompanies but the situation could change after the merger in October

Worrying news imo.  Hope they don't get SNK'd.

looks liek thats ti for Atlus...

Stupid question maybe, but what effect could this have on Atlus?
