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

Also, Japanese HQ says they're fine.

It is precisely because it never cared, that people do care.  It's something which it's lacking, because that which it has, it has lackluster of.

You are now reading this in Robert Belgrade's voice.

Then Lords of Shadow 2 just takes a big, semi-solid, smelly, pea-green dump all over everything.

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.
