Devil’s Third won’t be out until sometime next year, but the game has already received classification in Australia. The game was added to the database today with an MA 15+ rating. Not too surprising given the mature content in Devil’s Third!
Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Itagaki says Devil’s Third’s visuals have improved since E3, “looking completely different now”
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 71 Comments
Tomonobu Itagaki and the team at Valhalla Game Studios have been working hard on Devil’s Third since the game was last shown at E3. Their effort has payed off, as Itagaki told one fan on his Facebook page that the visuals have been improved.
Itagaki mentioned that the textures, weapon and environment models, and lighting have seen an upgrade. Ultimately, “it’s looking completely different now.”
Itagaki’s words in full:
The amount of progress we’ve made since then will surprise anyone.?Higher-quality textures, improved weapon and environment models,?better lighting… it’s looking completely different now.
That’s not all Valhalla has changed in Devil’s Third. The assignment of buttons have been modified, and the HUD UI has changed.
