Index Holdings, Atlus's parent company, is on the verge of going bankrupt

As a huge fan of Atlus, both as a developer and a publisher, the news that Index Holdings, their parent company, will be undergoing civil rehabilitation proceedings--the Japanese equivalent of filing for bankruptcy--is very sad news. What does this hold for Atlus? Well, right now, details are still coming out, but things do look optimistic for Atlus according to the Index Holdings' press release, which seems to state that the company will be looking for either a partner or straight buy-out in order to keep Atlus going strong. All details have been gathered from this NeoGAF thread and I recommend you follow that for any updates to this story.
