Previously reported was that Index had gone bankrupt and that this would not affect the development of previously announced games by Atlus or the release of announced games by Atlus USA. The ultimate fate of Atlus was still nebulous, however.
Today, Atlus has confirmed through their official website and Twitter account that the Atlus brand will live on and that the development and sales of its consumer game business will continue.
It is unclear what has changed their official stance from stating that they would update fans on their status when they could to them explicitly stating that the status quo for Atlus will be unaffected, but this is very good news all the same.
