Last week, Atlus parent company and mobile phone developer Index Holdings announced it was dissolving the independent Japanese publisher in an effort to streamline its business.
Index Holdings said Atlus will continue to operate as a brand and any titles currently in development will remain unaffected. However, questions surrounding the company's future were left unanswered.
Atlus U.S.A President and CEO Shinichi Suzuki issued a statement over the weekend telling fans not to worry, adding that this move will only strengthen the company going forward.
"We want to assure our fans and affiliates that Atlus remains in operation and will continue, as always, to support our beloved community with the finest quality game experiences possible," Suzuki said.
"The Atlus-Index merger allows us to achieve greater synergy among the Index group companies and further strengthens the foundation of Atlus, both in Japan and here in the United States."
Atlus is best known for developing and publishing niche, Japanese titles. Its U.S. branch recently published 3D Dot Game Heroes and Demon's Souls for PlayStation 3. Its latest game, Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City, launches for the Nintendo DS later this month.
