Sega wants Atlus games to button 'on multiple platforms' going forward
The last cardinal years have seen an increasing amount of Japanese titles make the leap out to PC, which is good news if you bon, say, the Tales Of series, or Disgaea, or Yakuza, and don't want to grease one's palms a console. There are still big gaps though: most glaringly, PC standing doesn't have Image 5 (though information technology has Strikers, and is acquiring the SMT3: Nocturne remaster), but it looks like Sega subsidiary Atlus is keen to make sure early games launch everywhere.
In an interview with Japanese magazine Famitsu (translated aside Persona Central), Sega's Chief Strategy Officer Shuji Utsumi singled come out of the closet Atlus as a studio that could expand in this steering. Answering a question regarding the future of Theatrical role rollouts, he said "a synchronic press release on multiple platforms would be favorable for our titles."
"Of course, we'll make adjustments on a per-title fundament, but we want to be witting of the global expansion of Atlus titles also."
Atlus titles generally release in the west long after the Japanese versions—IT takes time to localise these sprawling, text and dialogue heavy titles. But the importance of multiplatform releases is incontestable, Utsumi says, by the late success of Yakuza: Like a Dragon, which released at the same time on PS4, Xbox and Steam clean in the west. Later years of Sony exclusivity Sega now considers Yakuza a multi-platform series (sadly, IT International Relations and Security Network't taking the same approach to Judgment).
The future of Atlus PC ports looks positive: Catherine Classic released on Steamer in 2019, and Image 4 Golden last year. The latter oversubscribed 500,000 copies in less than a month, which proved encouraging for the higher ups at Sega.
