Atlus Forms Alliance With Sting

By Spencer . March 10, 2009 . 8:11am

Sting and Atlus must have avoided the friendship ruining game Dokapon Kingdom. The two companies are pals. Moving forward they’re going to be best buddies. Atlus is now responsible for publishing and marketing Sting developed games in Japan.

Not a huge paradigm shift for North America where Atlus USA released Sting titles like Baroque and Yggdra Union domestically. In simple terms if Sting develops a game in Japan, Atlus Japan will publish it, and since their parent company is involved chances are good — no very good Atlus USA will publish the game overseas. Now to wait for the next episode of the Dept. Heaven series and a downloadable version of Baroque Shooting.

If in the end this means more translated titles for the west (as Atlus USA is very likely to translate an Atlus Japan title, as the article points out) then I'm all in for it. I'm not a big fan of Sting, though

Cool. More games is alright with me.

This is good news.

Though Sting is very... 'average'.

  or    ?

yeah, I doubted I was the only one that thought it was about Sting (the singer, not the wrestler) haha

I thought "WTF?" and I didn't even know the developer Sting existed
