    Jesus smurfing Christ Atlus better not die.

    And I'm not trusting Square to handle this.

    Somebody mentioned in the comments in that link that Valve should be the ones to buy Atlus.

    I don't even wanna live on this planet anymore. Somebody shoot me.

    After declining to outbid Square Enix, Valve will instead acquire Nihon Falcom, since so much of the Ys series is already on Steam. The next one will be a Steam exclusive, launching day and date with the Steambox.

    You heard it here first.

    What could this mean for the release of Dragon's Crown?

    Absolutely nothing, pulishing is already happening, and it wasn't developed by Atlus in Japan, Atlus USA publish's quite a few Non-Atlus Titles stateside. Even if the company itself just folded, Dragon's Crown is to close for it to affect anything.

    Even if it would affect it, you'd probably just see another company get the publishing rights on the cheap and kick it out the door to make an easy few bucks.

    I'm more worried about their in-development projects.

    Persona 5
    Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem
    Persona x Final Fantasy


    What is going to happen to those?

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    Yay!

    Now I just hope they don't rush out the game to offset the earlier bad news. I want P5, but I want it at Atlus quality!

    Please, please, please, let them be picked up quickly by a company that will not drive them into the ground.

    Yeah I thought Atlus was going to be ok, but the situation seems really ambiguous, at least with the way the US gaming press is presenting it.

    Well, to be fair, until Atlus is sold it really is business as usual for them. There's not much they can do but keep chugging along. Honestly, as strange as it may sound, I wouldn't mind a company like Square buying them. So long as they do what they've done with their western developers and stay out of their way.
