Sega Sammy and Index Corporation announced in a statement that Sega Dream Corporation, a recently created subsidiary, will take over the operations of Index Corporation, the company to which Atlus belongs . The purchase was justified by the “excellent track record in design and development of content for mobile phones”, as well as the development of games for home consoles, such as the Megami Tensei, Persona and Etrian Odyssey series.
With the acquisition of Index Corporation, Sega is confident that it will create a cooperation that will allow them to achieve stable streams of profit. One part of the plan is to explore and maximize the intellectual properties acquired by making them available in the Pachislot and Pachinko , which are very popular in Japan. The transfer of operations should be completed by November 1st.
