Atlus, known for the popular Persona series will be merging into SEGA according to a report out of Nikkei, a Japanese media corporation. Atlus’s parent company, Index Corporation, is making steps towards transferring management of the Atlus subsidiarity to Sega Sammy (SEGA’s parent company). Prior to SEGA’s 14 billion yen (US$141 million) purchase of Index, Atlus issued a statement ensuring that the brand would carry on unaffected by business particulars.
