After the news was uncovered in advance earlier today, Sega Sammy have confirmed that they have acquired the rights to the Index Corporation who is the parent company of ATLUS, well renown for their Megami Tensei franchise of titles including Persona, Devil Survivor and Digital Devil Saga.
Under this agreement, the newly established subsidary of the Sega Corporation (Sega Dream Corporation) will handle the business operations of the Index Corporation including many of their IP’s. All transfers should be concluded by the 1st November 2013.
Now that this has been settled let’s hope that the North American branch of ATLUS, ATLUS USA stays active with this recent announcement… especially considering the number of titles they already have lined up for late-2013 and 2014.
