Nintendo of Europe shared more details about Devil’s Third in an announcement shared today. The “wild, larger-than-life military thriller” will offer “intense single-player and multiplayer third-person action that blends modern military weaponry with brutal melee combat.”

First, below is an overview of the single-player campaign:

At the heart of the single-player campaign is Ivan, a former mercenary let loose from his incarceration to right the wrongs of his past and take down a shadowy terrorist group he once belonged to. With the world’s satellites and electrical weaponry having been wiped out, and warfare once again reduced to close combat between soldiers, Ivan must use a colourful array of weaponry to shoot, hack and bludgeon his way through any foe standing in the way of his attempt at redemption. With fast-paced combat and bone-crunching finishing moves galore, a day in the life of Ivan is anything but ordinary…

And multiplayer:

The game’s online multiplayer mode, meanwhile, offers up a grim future whereby the terrorists have won, and chaos reigns supreme. As an ordinary citizen, you can join a clan and help reclaim the United States by forming allegiances with other factions, or go all-out as a mercenary and endlessly assault other player’s bases, opting for anarchy over clan diplomacy! But at the heart of the online play is the ability to customise your base alongside other members of your clan, with successful battling resulting in rewards that can be used to improve your defences. With constant assaults from other clans, you’ll have to be on your toes to defend your territory.

Another important note: for the European release, Devil’s Third will be available only with English voiceover, with choice of English or French on-screen text.

Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem has not one, but two directors. There’s chief director Mitsuru Hirata, who we heard from earlier today. Atlus’ Eiji Ishida of Radiant Historia fame is also a director, and he too shared a message on the official Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem website.

Here’s the translation from Siliconera:

It’s a pleasure to meet you all!

I am Atlus’ Eiji Ishida, the development director and the chief designer for battles. I previously worked as the chief designer for Shin Megami Tensei IV and the development director of Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey.

Hirata, who was the supporting director of Strange Journey, and also provided countless “questionable” maps (in the best way possible, Hirata-san!) in the level design for the game, is who I’m teaming up with as the director of Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem.
