The production of new games in the Gal*Gun series has been noted to have become increasingly difficult due to increased content censorship restrictions set by platform holders like Sony, Valve, and Microsoft (said restrictions resulting in the cancellation of the Xbox One version of Gal*Gun Returns), forcing the team to evaluate what to do with the series in order for it to continue. During a 2025 Steam Next Fest stream to promote Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark, localization director Andrew Singleton alluded to internal frustration on the matter, stating: "It's tough these days, it's a sore subject unfortunately." As of 2025, Nintendo is the only viable platform to release games in the series according to Inti Creates CEO Takuya Aizu, due to Steam updating its guidelines to be more strict regarding sexual content, particularly in regards to stories set in schools. Although Aizu admits to wanting to make new games in the series, he also held concerns about not being able to release the games on platforms that previously had games in the series.

In 2006, 55% of Atlus' assets were acquired by Index Corporation and fully absorbed in 2010. From then on, Atlus' Japanese branch technically ceased to exist as a company, instead being used as a brand name for Index Corporation. This changed on June 12, 2013, when the headquarters of Index Corporation was raided by officials from the Japanese Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission and found that the company was window dressing their numbers by round-tripping their assets. This caused their market value to plummet from $67.7 million dollars to only $10.8 million, and forced the company to file for bankruptcy on June 27, 2013, thus putting Atlus' remaining assets in jeopardy. Persona series director Katsura Hashino would release a statement the following month reassuring fans that the development of all unannounced titles at Atlus were unaffected by these proceedings. In September 2013, Sega made a bid for Atlus and was ultimately able to buy the company and let Atlus retain its creative freedom.
