What does this mean for projects in the pipe? Katsura Hashino of newly revealed horror game Catherine says they'll "endeavor to continue".
Apparently the Atlus brand will continue although in what capacity remains unclear. The fate of publishing and of its foreign divisions remained unaddressed.
Catherine director Katsura Hashino says his team "will endeavor to continue to work for a long time" and "of course, it's not just the Persona team, it's also other teams working on titles" that will stay the course.
Atlus created the Shin Megami Tensei series and brought a number of JRPGs over to the US like From Software's Demon's Souls and Sting's Riviera. Atlus was acquired by Index Holdings in 2005 through a stock buyout.
