Atlus (株式会社アトラス Kabushiki-gaisha atorasu) is a Japanese computer and video game developer, publisher, and distributor. It is known for developing the role-playing series Shin Megami Tensei which, counting spin-offs, has dozens of installments. The first Megami Tensei was an NES game published by Namco based on a trilogy of novels, but after the second, Atlus took over publishing the series. Atlus also released Shin Megami Tensei for the Super Famicom. Its corporate mascot is Jack Frost from Shin Megami Tensei. Atlus is headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo.

Atlus also published Growlanser, a real time strategy/RPG from the creators of the classic Langrisser series, Career Soft. After the success of the first game, they acquired Career Soft, who developed the second through fifth installments in-house.
