Xseed grew today starting with the acquisition of Atlus Online from Index Digital Media. Atlus Online handles MMORPGs like BattleSpace, Knights of the Sky, Pandora Saga, and Shin Megami Tensei Imagine.

While they reached 5.65 billion yen ($58 million) in sales with games like Persona 4 Arena and Persona 4: Golden, Index posted a total loss of 2.263 billion yen ($27 million) for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending on August 31, 2013

A trademark by Index for “P Studio” and a logo was discovered by Siliconera in Japan’s trademark database. Is it connected to Persona?

Index Holdings, the parent company of Atlus, announced their plan for the current fiscal year (September 2012 to August 2013) is to focus on expanding fans with high quality games.

Index Corporation reported sales numbers for Persona 4: Golden and the PlayStation Vita port sold 260,000 units in Japan since it was released on June 14.

Shinichi Suzuki was the President and CEO of Atlus USA from 2004 to 2012. During that time Atlus USA grew the Shin Megami Tensei and Persona series plus picked up a bunch of titles like Baroque, 3D Dot Game Heroes, and Demon’s Souls.

These accessories, probably handmade by Teddie, are based on the anime series Persona 4 the Animation. Each pair costs 3,150 yen ($40) and will be available in spring 2013.

Hashino told Famitsu magazine he’s concentrating on the “next numbered title” right now. Persona 5 is making steady progress and Shigenori Soejima submitted sketches for the game.

Dengeki Bunko is working with the Persona team on a Naoto Shirogane side story, but you’ll see this tale in a bookstore instead of a console game.

Are you looking for a RPG to play on Vita? Check out Atlus’ digital PSP library which has games like Yggdra Union for $9.99 and Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable for $19.99.

Having a collection of Persona 4 figures is nice and all, but you need some shadows for them to fight. This Twin DX pack with Izanagi includes one.

It’s time for another one of Atlus USA’s teases.

Famitsu asked a handful of publishers their thoughts on the new year and Shin Megami Tensei developer Atlus teased their fans by saying, “That title you’ve been waiting for may be announced.”
