Bidding for Atlus has begun
Things are looking up for Atlus (Persona, Catherine) as apparently around twenty companies have made a bid for the studio (including Sega Sammy Holdings). Some reported to be as high as 20 billion yen (roughly £130m) in the primary auction held earlier this week.
Index Corporation will choose the candidates as early as next week and we can hopefully expect a final buyer by the end of the August.
Index Corporation filed for Civil Rehabilitation on June 27th 2013 due to a debt consisting of 24.5 billion yen (roughly 160m). Atlus has since stated that they would be continuing business as usual and game development had not be affected.
Ilike my games hard and fast (not how I like my women).
My gaming preferences vary from Hardcore FPS to adventure roleplay.
I will be posting regular articles that focus on the more mainstream Japanese games.
