Atlus U.S.A., Inc. today announced that they will extend the holiday season and continue to spread holiday cheer after the New Year with the "Twelve Days of Atlus," a promotion giving members of the Atlus Faithful a chance to win special prizes as thanks for their continued participation and support.

When approached for comment, Atlus spokesbot A.R.A.M. stated, "90% of all internet traffic is dedicated to making things bigger and longer. It was only logical that Atlus would want to do the same and extend the holiday gift-giving season."

Fans are encouraged to sign up for the Faithful as soon as possible (LINK) to ensure they are eligible to win. Atlus will randomly draw twelve members from the list of Atlus Faithful who have signed up by January 15, 2010 and winners will be notified via email.
