Our New ATLUS Online Store is Going Live Next Monday
Hello everyone, My name is Mike and I’m part of the ATLUS licensing team. Let’s talk about our new online store that we have creatively titled, the ATLUS Online Store.

ATLUS and Emulation
You might have heard earlier today that we issued a DMCA takedown notice involving emulation developer group RPCS3 and their Patreon page. Yes, it’s true.

In the upcoming Stella Glow, protagonist Alto has the daunting task of defeating Hilda, the Witch of Destruction. However, both Alto and Hilda aren’t fighting alone. Alto has the honorable Regnant Knights’ 9th Regiment watching his back, while Hilda’s wave of destruction is aided by the dastardly Harbingers. This got me thinking about the best […]

When Persona Q launched last year, a lot of ATLUS fans jumped right into it, never having played an Etrian Odyssey game before; the vast majority of which doing so for two reasons: Intense love for the casts of Persona 3 and Persona 4 Not even knowing what Etrian Odyssey is (other than a funny […]
