I hear talk about Atlus being bought out by nintendo or sony but there has been no new official news.

If anything, they've rather recently registered a domain name for Persona 5.

Also, Japanese HQ says they're fine.

Ahh that's good.  :)

It's 1:13 here so with searching on the web I might have read something about P5 but forgot to post a link so  ;D


This one needs his Chie and Naoto  :-[  Atlus is way too awesome to go away   ;D

But I wish that p5 could connect p2 and p3/4 I want to see Tatsuya and Yu kick some butt.

I agree, Atlus is one of the few companies still bringing many quirky, wonderful and wonderfully different Japanese titles to western shores. For those of us who remember a time when the market was dominated by Japanese games* and their unique styles and sensibilities the loss of Atlus would be a blow.

*Myself included even though I wasn't a big gamer at that time.
