About 20 companies show interest in buying Atlus parent, including Sega

According to a new report, Sega Sammy Holdings is one of roughly 20 companies showing interest in buying Atlus’ parent company, Index Holdings. The company filed for bankruptcy just a couple of weeks ago and is looking for new buyers to keep it alive.

Sega would be a good fit for the company as it already distributes Atlus games in Japan.

The current bid is sitting around 20 billion yen, or USD$ 201 million, which is more than the expected 15 billion yen amount from Index. The business deal is planned to go down by the end of August, with the list of potential buyers expected to filter down by next week.
