Index Corp. files for bankruptcy

Atlus' parent company Index will begin auctioning off its operations next week after filing for bankruptcy--or civil rehabilitation, in this case. Bloomberg Japan (via Game Informer) reports that Index is seeking 15 billion yen in revenue from the sale.

Index's stock tanked when the Japanese government began investigating it for fraud. It will be de-listed from JASDAQ before the auctions begin.

The process could conclude as early as September. Atlus wrote on its Japanese website that development and sales of its products will continue uninterrupted throughout the procedures.
