The parent company of game publisher Atlus, Index Holdings, announced today its intentions to merge their mobile developer Index with Atlus. The move is intended to increase efficiency and better utilize group resources. Index Holdings acquired Atlus in 2006 through a stock purchase. The merger is expected to take place on October 1st.
After the merger, Atlus as a company will cease to exist but that hardly means the end of the brand. A public relations representative for Index Holdings has stated that games will continue to be released under the Atlus brand for the time being.
