A Japanese video game developer and publisher. Atlus develops and publishes games for all major platforms. Their leading franchises are Shin Megami Tensei, Persona, Etrian Odyssey, and Trauma Center.
Since 2013, the company has been owned by Sega. In addition to its headquarters in Tokyo, it also has an American branch (Atlus West) located in Irvine.
The company's history begins in 1986. In its early years, Atlus focused on video game development and selling entertainment equipment (including karaoke machines). The company also achieved some success in the arcade industry.
In 1987, Atlus developed Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei, which began the series that the company continues to develop to this today. It also spawned another best-selling series in Atlus' portfolio, Persona.
In 1991, Atlus established a North American branch; initially called Atlus USA, it was later renamed Atlus West. In 1997, the company was listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and subsequently began expanding by, e.g. acquiring Apies and Career Soft (creators of the Langrisser series); while the former was quickly sold, the latter was absorbed by Atlus in 2004.
Meanwhile, in 2003, Atlus itself was acquired by the Japanese toy producer Takara. Three years later, the company changed ownership again, this time to Index Holdings. In 2010, Index Holdings and Atlus merged, after which the former changed its name to Index Corporation, while the latter ceased to exist as a separate entity.
Index Corporation lasted until 2013, when it was acquired by Sega. The new owner decided to revive the Atlus brand, allowing the company to continue operations. In 2017, Sega's European branch assumed responsibility for publishing Atlus' games in Europe.
Atlus consists of three internal development studios. Creative Department 1st Production (Team Maniax), Creative Department 2nd Production (P-Studio), and Creative Department 3rd Production (Studio Zero) share responsibilities.
Each of these teams participated in the development of the company's most important brands, namely Megami Tensei and Persona, as well as other projects such as Catherine (2011) and Metaphor: ReFantazio (2024).
