Atlus

This week’s issue of Famitsu contains an interview with Atlus CEO Naoto Hiraoka and representative Yukio Sugino.

Speaking about games in the pipeline other than Persona, Hiraoka teased:

“I believe we’ll be able to announce ‘that title’ soon. At the moment, we’ve even begun development on a title that will be released in three years time.”

Hiraoka additionally confirmed that a brand new IP is in the works.

Atlus has expanded its efforts outside of games with the Persona series, thanks to projects such as the anime, stage plays, and film. This is something that Atlus hopes to extend to its other IP.
