Well, we already knew that SEGA was interested on buying Atlus, but the big surprise is that SEGA parent company (SEGA SAMMY) bought Atlus parent company (INDEX Corporation), or 14 Billion Yen (around $141 million).
This is already confirmed by SEGA itself, with this press release:
The Company believes that transfer of Index's operations to Sega will create synergies, on the grounds that the deal will enable the Company to:
(1) gain access to prominent IPs in the home video game software, through which the Company can expect to achieve steady flows of revenue;
(2) expect further facilitation of revenue growth for the PC Online Game Business and Content Business for Smart Devices operated by Sega and Sega Networks Co., Ltd. by exploiting acquired prominent IPs and
(3) maximize the value of acquired IPs by effectively deploying them in the Pachislot and Pachinko Machines segment, Amusement Machine Sales and Amusement Center Operations segments.
That means we can see a new Atlus-SEGA-Nintendo trailer collaboration of the next game Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem?
What do you think about this?
