The American bit of game maker have confirmed a new website this week, a community focussed games portal aimed squarely at Western fans of the developer's games and animations.

Called, unceremoniously, Atlus Online, the new service will deliver a "platform for social interaction", which sounds a bit like with games - and other distractions.

Those signing up (you can pre-register here), will get early access to new games, and exclusive news on new titles.

"Atlus Online will emerge as an extremely user-focused destination," beamed CEO Shinichi Suzuki.
