Despite having only launched a year ago, the online services for Devil’s Third will be coming to an end once 2016 draws to a close. Nintendo announced today that the game’s multiplayer is to be shut down on December 29 at 1 PM local time in Japan. Furthermore, players will no longer be able to purchase Golden Eggs – the game’s form of microtransactions – on June 27, also at 1 PM local time.

As part of today’s news, Nintendo will be reducing the price of Devil’s Third on the Japanese eShop from 7,236 yen to 3,618 yen. This will take effect starting on June 24 at 10 AM local time. There are no plans to remove Devil’s Third from the eShop as it will simply be a single-player game.

Now, while the news has only been announced for Japan thus far, it’d be very surprising if the online functionality for Devil’s Third remain online in the west. We’ll let you know if we receive any additional updates.

Last week, Nintendo announced an entirely new action RPG called Ever Oasis. It comes from Grezzo and is being led by director/producer Koichi Ishii. Having worked on Final Fantasy and the Mana series, Ishii certainly has an impressive pedigree.

Nintendo UK has now shared a message from Ishii about Ever Oasis on its website. We’ve included the full note below.

I’m very happy we were able to introduce Ever Oasis to you all.

This game is set in a desert. The lead character will venture out as chief of the desert oasis along with his partner, the water nymph Isuna, to expand the oasis.

Players take control of Arthur and defeat the creatures of the night to save the day once more. Discover what glory awaits those brave enough to take on the armies of Super Ghouls ‘n Ghosts.”

Super Ghouls’n Ghosts will cost $7.99 when it arrives on the New 3DS Virtual Console tomorrow.
