Atlus dissolved by parent company Index Holdings

Gamasutra has some news on Atlus being dissolved by its parent company Index Holdings.

Index Holdings, which also owns game company Interchannel (Soul Bubbles' Japanese publisher) and animation studio Madhouse, has been the owner of the Atlus brand for some time. The company aims to streamline its business focus to "profitable core areas." The official press release indicates that the Atlus brand will continue, but in what capacity is unclear, at present. The developer has a number of projects in progress, and it is unlikely that those would be shelved in the short term.

For those who might not be aware of some of the awesome games that Atlus puts out, they include the Shin Megami Tensei RPG series.  They also published From Software's Demon's Souls and 3D Dot Game Heroes and Sting's Riviera.
