Index Corporation has filed for bankruptcy as it enters into a civil rehabilitation proceeding. Yet Atlus USA, the California based publisher responsible for localising and distributing its Japanese parent company's games, said in a statement it is "unaffected by the Index Corporation proceedings in Japan."

The statement was made to Kotaku, and in full reads:

Currently, Index Digital Media, Inc. and the ATLUS brand are unaffected by the Index Corporation proceedings in Japan. We're carrying on day-to-day activities, business as usual. Shin Megami Tensei IV and Dragon's Crown are still releasing on July 16 and August 6 respectively, and we're licensing and publishing third-party titles such as R.I.P.D: The Game and Daylight. We want to thank all of our fans for their outpouring of support.

The Western release of Sin Megami Tensei IV was confirmed just two months ago.
