In June 2013, it was reported that Index Corporation filed for civil rehabilitation proceedings, facing bankruptcy with debts of ¥24.5 billion.[3] In September 2013, Sega announced their acquisition of Index Corporation at a reported value of ¥14 billion.[4]

In March of 2016, Sega announced in a press release the finalized acquisition of Atlus. From that point all future Atlus titles released in North America would be published by Sega of America. Despite Sega publishing Atlus's games, both entities will continue to identify as individual brands and act autonomously.[5]
