Atlus USA has unveiled a new division of the company focused on creating a "community-driven" games portal based around delivering online games and anime.
The new branch of the publisher, along with the game portal itself, has been branded Atlus Online and will be headed up by Tyler Kim, as director of online games. Pre-registration is now available for the service, with plans to reward registrants with early access to the portal's as yet unannounced online game.
