Deep Silver To Publish Atlus and Sega Titles In Europe

Deep Silver have partnered with Atlus USA and Sega of America to bring their titles to Europe. The deal encompasses publishing in all European and PAL territories with both digital and physical releases of all titles.

Titles covered by the deal include the Sega 3DS RPG 7th Dragon III Code: VFD along with anticipated Atlus titles Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse and Persona 5. As well as these initial releases it covers future titles moving forward.

Dr. Klemens Kundratitz, CEO of Koch Media/Deep Silver said the following:

 “We are delighted to have signed this publishing partnership and look forward to using all our pan-European publishing network to maximize the potential of the ATLUS and SEGA games”

Echoing those sentiments, CEO of Atlus USA and Senior Vice President of Publishing, Naoto Hiraoka said:

”In entering this partnership with Deep Silver, I am truly delighted we will be able to release our titles in the European regions.

Not only does the deal span multiple titles, but Deep Silver has a strong presence in European and PAL retailers. They have a strong passion for being able to deliver physical games to our fans in those territories, which we hold in high regard.”

Atlus have had a strange relationship with Europe, their games often missing regional localisation and also having a hit and miss release schedule (It took 15 months for Shin Megami Tensei IV to release in Europe after its North American debut).

Whilst no release dates have been announced for any titles as of yet; this deal with Deep Silver, assuming they do a good job, seems like a positive one for consistency with European releases.
