Breaking news tonight as Shin Megami Tensei developer and publisher Atlus has announced a merger with its parent company, Index Holdings. According to the press release, “It’s a take-over process to make Atlus and Index (their mobile development sector) one single brand.”

The merger is meant to lay a more effective business system in place between each division. It should go into effect on October 1, although the date is said to be tentative.

Atlus will retain their own name on the titles they develop and publish. Although their name as a registered company should no longer exist. At least we’ll see the good ol’ Atlus logo on Catherine come its release this winter.
