Atlus Opening Online Game Portal
As a fan of all things Atlus, I was quite happy to see today that the beloved company has announced that they will be launching a game portal titled Atlus Online. Sure it might not be the most innovative title, but it certainly gets their point across. Since they have began creeping into the online game universe (see SMT: Imagine) it only makes sense for them to step into the online game portal market.
Don't think that this is just a half-baked afterthought concocted by money grubbing CEOs looking to score a fast buck with shotting engineering, they've actually created an entire division for this project. The new portal will be headed by Director of Online Games Tyler Kim, formerly of online game operator K2 Games, ArenaNet, and GoPets.
Atlus has long wanted to create an online portal that would become the daily destination for anyone looking for a fresh and engaging online entertainment experience," said Shinichi Suzuki, president and CEO, Atlus. "Atlus Online will emerge as an extremely user-focused destination that is fully accessible to each and every one of its members. From amazing games to play to exciting contests, exceptional content and great community interaction, we are convinced that Atlus Online will be a premiere interactive entertainment destination for online gamers and anime fans alike.
Pre-registrations have already started (of which I have already taken part of) so feel free to join me in my worship of all things Atlus at the Atlus Online homepage. There is no shame in being a fanboy (sometimes).
