Gonzo Rosso, the MMO-y, game-y cousin of that similarly named anime company, is now under the control of Atlus. Like a summoned persona. And not the U.S.-based Atlus you’re thinking of, the small subsidiary of the parent company that mostly deals in localization of various Japanese games, but the actual Japanese parent company itself. You know, the guys who actually lovingly craftShin Megami TenseiandPersonagames. Those sickos. Love those sickos.
What are they going to do with their majority share (54.6%) ofGonzo Rosso? Well, I’d guess that they’d take some of theirJapanese MMOsand plug them into well-oiled (well, better-oiled) Atlus machine. Theinsanely boring(PDF) release also mentions Atlus USA, which makes sense, as they just openedAtlus Onlinethis year. You can bet some of those Gonzo Rosso MMOs will make their way over here.
I wouldn’t expect anything big to come out of this just yet.
